@ 5nak3:
It's trial and error with macro mode. I wait for it to 'lock', check the key focal area on the display and if it's easy enough to see on the screen if it's gonna be a blur. You are right; you can't get TOO close, as no amount of fiddling will get it to focus if it's too close (ie. just a few cm, LOL).
Very hard to say as what is the ideal distance; i.e. on average 15-30cm with the floral pics before I got the desired focus in macro mode.

It's usually just a case of adjusting both settings and distance from the object in small increments until it 'locks' without blurring the preferred focal area.

Yeah I ordered a new 4-into-1 exhaust last week. Still waiting for it to arrive. It's a Remus performance system, stainless steel header pipes and link pipe, with Remus's new 'Hexacone' titanium cannister, which also has a carbon fibre outlet tip etc.
Should be a huge weight-saving too, compared to the standard 4-into-2 with all the EU-reg baffling crap in both those huge cannisters.
Then I'll get the thing dyno-jetted to get the fuelling etc spot on.

When we went to Hastings on the bike on the bank holiday, I could feel that the front brake discs will need replacing too...they're definitely warped, albeit slightly. Very obvious under braking at slower speeds.
Sigh, there goes another 200-odd quid for a set of new dinner plate size brake discs...
