What is the minimum macro focusing distance in inches?
2092439
Different lenses have different minimum focus distances. The minimum focus distance of an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens is 0.28 m or 0.92 ft. (a little over 11 inches; this information appears on the lens as &#8734;-0.28 m/0.92 ft.). AF-S NIKKOR 50mm F1.4G AF-S NIKKOR 50mm F1.4G Minimum Focus Distance The minimum focus distance is the shortest distance at which a lens can focus. In the case of digital SLR cameras, the distance to the subject is measured from the focal plane mark on the camera body, not from the front of the lens. The minimum focus distance of an AF-S NIKKOR 50 mm f/1.4G is 0.45 m (about 1.5 feet or 18 inches; the minimum focus distance is shown in the lens focus distance display).

Closest usable focus distance is about 5.5 inches from the lens. What that means in practice is that an item one-half of an inch across will fill about half the frame (at least on my 50D).

This lens can focus down to about 3/4" from the end of the lens, a distance that makes the distance between the subject and the sensor inside the camera about 4 inches. In practical use, one must get very close to their subject to get the maximum magnification, which for some might make this lens impractical. I use this lens not only for macro use, but as the standard lens which stays on my camera most of the time, it does very well in all situations and it is very sharp.

I would suggest getting the 105 mm macro if you want a true macro for closeup photography with any Nikon camera. I've used this lens for four years and have been extremely satisfied with sharpness and bokeh. At extreme macro settings, autofocus should be turned off, as it has difficulty searching for focal points. A 1:1 macro ratio is achieved when end of lens is approximately 5 1/2 inches from the subject.

You can focus to within eight inches away of your subject. But remember that this is a wide angle, 24mm equivalent lens, so even at a close up distance, you will get more into your frame than you would with a longer lens. You must also be aware of potential wide-angle distortion.

Look up a micro 4/3 macro extension tube. It mounts between the lens and body, and you can use different length tubes for different distances. It's cheap too. The only catch is it doesn't allow for auto focus.

From Sony's RX1 specifications page:Focal Distance : AF approx. 24cm to infinity (Normal mode), approx. 14cm to 29cm (Macro mode)So in macro mode, you can focus anywhere from roughly 5.5 inches to 11.4 inches. Good enough for most bugs, flowers and jewelry I would imagine.

near about 1 inch. good for product shoot, but not for closeup or macro shoot, because the surface of some finishing marks are showing on the body surface.

You need to get very close to your subject for it to focus. The Macro is for close up fine detail.

according to fuji specs super macro zoom will focus at 1 cm. I have not tried this yet

Yes. There are actually two macro modes -- one is a "normal" macro mode and a "super" macro mode. The latter allows you to focus to within an inch or so of the lens.

Your probably too close for what the lense your using can handle. Have you tried auto focus? For macro shots its almost easier to use anyways.

Unless you plan on doing macro photography this adapter is a waste of money. You will only be able to focus out to 5 or 10 feet.

2nd answer. If you mean the closest distance you're able to focus at? I can only guess at about 15 to 20 feet. If you mean the closest distance you can calculate by using the mildot system I would again guess as close as you can get a clear focused picture. Mine gives me a very clear picture fifty yards and out but I could not honestly tell you the minimum useful distance. KT

According to the spec the minimum focus distance is .82 ft. Of course with close up filters you can easily go closer. That is what I do.

I wasn't aware Sigma made this same lens in a "macro" version? Becarefull believing the discriptions as some "used" products are misrepresented. Any how, macro will allow for a shorter minimum focus distance. Good luck
