Macro work? I'm confused?

Maybe the testing and comparison with subjects or at extend uniformly es of the GG (newspaper?)

Unless your goal is photographing jewelry, flowers, etc that have three dimensions rather then two. For newpapers a process lens would probably perfor, best at f22.

A rough brick wall or stone wall that fills the frame would be better for a macro lens test to show 3 dimensional performance.
