Macro Lens

A Macro-Lense is used for extreme close-up photography, usually of very small objects, the size of the object in the photograph is greater than life size by some meanings. The relation of the subject size on the film plane to the actual subject size is known as the “reproduction ratio”. A true macro lenses offer a magnification factor of 1.0x or 1:1 at its closest focus setting. Fit one of these lenses to a DSLR like the Canon EOS 60D, and a standard UK postage stamp will fill the whole frame. Macro lens varies between the price rage of £649.99 for a sigma 05mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM and for a Samsung silent focusing available for around £530 but they are normally optimized to operate at closer than normal distance.
