just a standard canon 18-55mm lens. cheap lens i take with me everyday.

need to get a macro lens :/
>> mr devon
i tried this with me Rebel XT and a simular zoom lens.

i had to set the f-stop with the lens attached, held down the DOF preview botton while removing the lens.

it'll return to it's maximum apature when you reattach the lens.

DOF is really hard to get close-up. even at f/22 it'll still be pretty short.

here's one i shot.

Use larger aperture. Though, I'm not sure why would you want to do that, it's already too shallow.

I read somewhere using a wider angle lens helps.

This was with a reversed 28mm fully open on a 50mm. Held in place by elastic bands until I get round to getting a reverse ring mount.
