    ok so my mistake, the lens is actually a tokina 28-70 macro. idk why i thought it was a 60 prime lol. its not a true macro lens but has a close focus setting. it does take some good shot though..

    I'm not sure, but it has 1:3 magnification factor so you can get pretty close.

    Congrats on the adds! It's hard for me to take decent pics of fish as well. Good job on the clown pic tho!
