I'm impatiently waiting for the 35mm ltd macro to show up, and historically have been into the somewhat abstract closeup shot. A regular lens will get you part of the way there, especially if you're willing to crop. Plus it does give you a bit more depth of field usually. But if you want to get up close and personal, you need a "real" macro lens. 35mm is a bit short meaning the small stuff will be hard to get (especially things that get scared). Traditionally people go with 100mm, and I had a 105mm Nikkor previously. Not sure if this one sends me though...

100mm Pentax macro, slight crop, no other pp
