I just bought a Canon 100mm 2.8 macro lens and when I take pictures, it seems that only the center is focused and the rest is blurry....how can I make the whole picture in focus when taking close-ups or is it that the depth of field is narrow with macro lenses? any ideas? thanks!

Andy 		  Depth-of-field gets narrower as your lens gets closer to the subject. Use the Av mode on your camera and set it to the smallest aperture (largest number) as possible. Experience with different apertures and see the results change. Hope this helps.
