I haven't done many macros other than this, some test shots but I haven't trimmed them to upload yet.

Actually the hit ratio was very little (about 10%) for these handheld indoor macro shots (I chose the best ones for this gallery), and I had no tripod so I had to do it handheld. I sold the 105 a couple of weeks ago to buy some PC hardware, hope I'll buy one again sometime later (when I have a tripod as well :P).
