I'm looking at a Panasonic fz 38 - 62...
Which one is best??
What camera are you using??
I'm putting this one here, as it was the best I could do with my basic camera at getting the inside of a lizard orchid in focus, the trouble being getting close enough to see inside means the DoF is too limited... it's just a question of what is going to be out of focus, and going for the least-worst.

That's almost obscene.

A shopping trip to Lyme (not for deckchairs).

Hey, thanks for the vote of confidence in the Flowers, Flowers, Flowers thread. I thought the various styles posted here were ticking along nicely. There’ll be less content here now. Flower photography and macros as a whole aren’t particularly popular, so I was thinking of not posting many more myself, however they’ve helped supply content when summer conditions have made landscape/seascape(mountain?) photography difficult (for me at least).
Could you select a narrower aperture for increased DOF? Shutter speed will drop (unless using a higher ISO) so motion blur can become a problem. Focus stacking is the obvious answer, but to be reliably successful, a tripod would probably be needed.
Newer cameras (not mine) often have ‘in camera’ focus stacking making the whole process a lot less faff.
A Celtic cross (with some flowers) in a small nicely overgrown graveyard.

That is like asking what bike, or what car.
Depends on usage, and will change day to day depending on mood.

Wildlife mainly but close ups and landscapes.
So a good alrounder second hand up to about £100.
