doremonx Senior Member Oct 26, 2005 545 0 16 Hillview Dec 16, 2005 #3 Thanks. What if there is no "MACRO" function on the lens?
N n0d3 Senior Member Feb 3, 2003 1,513 0 36 Dec 16, 2005 #4 If it isn't a dedicated macro lens, I doubt there'll be any difference. Lenses with a "macro' or a flower icon stamped on it probably just means that it has a smaller minimum focusing distance.
