Macro lenses
attach to SLR cameras.
One advantage of digital SLR cameras is the ability to change out the lenses for different situations. Macro lenses enable you to photograph very small objects and capture textures and other details.
Macro Lens
A macro lens makes small objects look much larger. A true macro lens can take pictures that feature at least 1:1 magnification. This means that the object appears life-sized on the lens' sensor. A lens with a 2:1 magnification ratio makes objects appear twice as big as life size.
Micro Lenses
Some camera manufacturers, such as Nikon, name their macro lenses micro. One example is the Nikon 60mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor Lens. Nikon calls this a micro lens even though it serves the same purpose as a macro lens. True micro cameras and lenses are often designed for security purposes.
Micro Four Thirds
Some camera manufacturers such as Olympus feature a micro four-thirds system that includes a point-and-shoot camera with interchangeable lenses. This is a smaller version of the four-thirds lens system used by these manufacturers.
