Better to stick around f8-f11 on modern DSLR sensors imho.

Ok, then. f8-f11 it is!! I don't know where I got f22 in my head from. I think it was a tutorial on the web, that showed diffraction issues arising after the f22 mark. They were illustrating that after that, image sharpness starts suffering. They made a pretty good argument on the case, showing a ruler at all f-stops. I guess a ruler is not the same as 3d insects with colours though.

I'll start using f8-f11, from now on. Cheers mate!!

If you end up reading this, can I ask? What ISO should I be using? I have been using 200 for all my shots. I think though, I should be using higher.
