Some close up lenses or zoom lenses in macro med vary theri focal length as you focus. Therefore it is probably better to move the subject or put the camera on some reails so that it can be moved than to touch the focus ring.

Hi, have you tried "PhotoSFXart" (search on Google for it)? There you can watch a nice free video explaining the best way to shoot better photographs. It made it possible for Daniel to create pictures which leave you with a wow-effect any time you take a look at them. Hopefully it works for you as well.
