I believe if you set the lens to around 35mm you can get a little bit of distance from the subject.

Yes, I get better separation at the longer focal lengths.

Just out of curiosity, I took this shot to estimate the magnification at 18mm. It's only about 0.7x if my thinking is correct. Not scientific, but fun.

At 18mm. The front of the magnetic filter/cap ring is touching the ruler, which leaves the front element only a few mm from touching.
