I apologize in advance for any typos or misspellings. I work a full-
time job and do photography and writing as I can. I hope you find
this material useful.

P.S. Don’t forget to check out Book Two ("Lenses for Close-Up and
Macro Photography) in this series which contains the nitty-gritty on
a number of close-up and macro lenses in great detail and with
specs. Also books on focus stacking can be found at:
Types of Close-Up Photography
There is little more than general agreement about what we call the
various types of near-focus photography, but it is important to at
least have a general idea of what we are talking about when we go
close to photograph.
