What is a macro lens?
A standard macro lens is a special type of camera lens designed for photographing small subjects at very close distances. It can produce a 1:1 magnification, meaning the size of the subject on the sensor is the same as its size in real life.
This allows photographers using a macro lens to capture minute details not visible to the naked eye, making it perfect for photographing things like insects, plants, and small objects. Macro lenses typically have focal lengths ranging from 50mm to 200mm. That being said macro lenses are not just for close-ups and can also be used to capture portraits and other types of photography due to their sharpness and versatility.
