Hi:
I am a newbie and interested to take macro shots. I have a EOS300D and a Sigma 70~300mm APO Macro Super II. I tried to take macro using this lens in its macro mode, but the subject is very blur (i.e. I cannot focus no matter what) if my lens is very close to the subject.
From my very limited knowledge, I understand that for macro shots, the lens can and should go pretty close to the subject and still able to attain a focus. May I know is this true? Can any experts in this len kindly enligten me on the appropriate technique of taking macro shots using this len.
Thank you very much and apologies if the doubts sound too ignorant to you all.
