What is the difference between a micro and macro lens.Will this lens work for macro shots

macro photography is a "close-up" photo, to make it simplein Nikon's lenguage, lenses for macro photos are named "micro", but this is a lens for macro photos. A good one i'd say, for starters (i love photography but i don't put a lot of time to it, and this lens has taken awesome photos of ordinary situations due to its focus and all)if you are looking for more info i'd recommend those experts on-line forums and webpages thoughregards

From a non expert, It has to do with the ratios 1:1 or viewing in actual size or larger is macro. The best review I found on a quick search is: http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/40mm-f28.htmhttp://www.slrphotographyguide.com/blog/macro/macro-micro-closeup-difference.html http://www.slrphotographyguide.com/camera/lens/macro.shtmlKind of a nice video: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Learn-And-Explore/Article/gnhy8b3m/macro-lenses.html I hope this helps

For some reason, Nikon calls their macro lenses "micro", so yes, this is a lens used for macro photography.

Yes. I have that lens and it works great. It actually a little easier to use the macro kit with this lens for focusing since the lens is a zoom.

Yes, I would think it's the main reason to have this lens. Some say the lens gets too close to the subject when used for macro work, I have not found that to be a problem. I find the lens very useful especially all around, but would probably not own it if not for its macro capability.

No, this is not macro lens. It is more portraiture. Olympus makes a 60mm macro lens, which is 1:1.

This is a manual lens that fits the Micro 4/3rds system. It has manual focus. If your camera will handle this format and can handle a manual operation lens then it will work. I use it as a camera lens cap, as one of the settings covers the pinhole lens. It will take a decent picture if you don't have time or access to your good automatic lenses.

There is no specific macro mode - but the lens will focus down to about 10 inches from the subject. The lens does not give true macro 1:1 size but does give excellent close up photographs

Hello, As far as we can tell there is no adapter available for this lens in order to shoot macro. Thank you for your interest, UsedPhotoPro

Hi Michael, for some reason I've returned this item...Not because of having any trouble! I've decided to but real macro lens instead of using something like that just because of quality of the image with the Nikon macro lenses. Sorry

Correct; you unscrew the smaller lens to access the macro lens. These lenses are garbage, but to get the desired effect you have to be right on top of the subject you want the picture of.

Hello, there is an Auto Focus on this lens. Click the switch by AF - M to use Auto Focus (AF) however when shooting Macro, it's usually better and easier to manually focus. I hope this helped.

no. It is not a Macro lens. Try the Micro 105 or 60, depending on your camera sensor. Whoa... I just read the other comments. It is a very sharp lens with a short minimum focusing distance, but it is designed for wide shots... It's a wide angle lens. It's the lens you would use to photograph a mountain range. Close up, the distortion is horrible on an FX sensor. On a DX, it's the equivalent of a 42mm - still considered a wide angle lens. Research Macro photography... meaning close up. Most Flowers need the magnification to fill the frame.

Yes- it is a true macro. It probably is not as sharp as a dedicated macro- like a Tamron 90mm- but it will work in a pinch. The lens is a good "all around" lens. If you do not need low light, fast action, National Geographic sharpness, this is a very good lens.

Not really... It has a minimum focal length of 13 inches zoomed out and about 8 feet when zoomed all the way in. As far as a true macro lens goes, I would I use the Tamron 90 mm macro. In addition if you use the +1, +2, +4, +10 close-up lenses, you can get really really close.
