(...) It's cool because in the macro mode, things *more* than a few centimeters out of where you're focusing are slightly blurry. This lends the impression that the scene is full human scale instead of miniature. (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yes, as has been mentioned, a closeup macro is a very important feature for photographing LEGO. Also, take note of the focus depth. A few months ago I was helping one of my fellow SEALUG'ers investigate cameras, and I think we found that the (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
