macro lenses
Pick out all the minute details in a subject and make
them the centre piece of a beautiful sharp photograph
Quick tip
You’ll find macro added to many
zoom lenses, but this doesn’t
mean that they will give the
same results as a macro lens.
The term macro on most zooms
means that it may be able to
focus a little closer than other
lenses, not that it will be able to
focus on small subjects.
acro lenses enable you to enter a
world that’s invisible to the casual
observer. Most photographers use
them to fill the frame with tiny
subjects, but they’re much more versatile than
simply being a tool for focusing on close-ups.
Most Canon-fit macro lenses have a focal
length between 50mm to 180mm, as well as
a reasonably fast maximum aperture, which
is perfect when you want to really blur out
the background. Used at normal distances,
you can use a macro lens like you would a
prime lens. Most offer a maximum aperture
of around f/2.8, which will create a lovely
shallow depth of field when shooting
portraits, but really they’re for tiny subjects.
