I think I recall reading about how to shift the focal plane or something with mine as well -- before I learned that the kit lens was why my dolls' faces weren't sharp. But I meant, without getting into the camera's innards, you can just put something strongly patterned in the shot beside the doll's face or wherever you want to focus, and take a few pictures with it there as you adjust; then when it's sharp you take it out and shoot the pic. Of course requires being able to shut off autofocus so it doesn't change on you when you remove its target.
18-140 is a pretty nice range! I use the kit lens for news -- doesn't matter when it's going to be a 3x4" black-&-white newspaper photo
I don't use much under 3.5 myself.
I didn't get around to doing any Easter-y photos, alas... been slammed with work which is finally winding down; my crocuses got all rained on, and today it bleepin snowed. --Just flurries, but still.
Stupid climate.
Anyway, because you can't take just "one" in a pic-a-week shoot, (well I usually can't), here's one more of Crystal and a few of Dorothy.
I should neaten her hair. >sigh< But Marilyn is still in line for a spa day that didn't happen yet.
