Okay.
As I'm looking around at lenses, particularly macro ones, I notice that it says "Closest focusing distance" or "Minimum focus distance" and its usually around a foot to a foot and a half.
Even on macro lenses?!
Am I missing something?
(Sorry. I'm such a n00b.)
How can this lens have a focusing distance of 1 foot and 2.4 inches and be able to take images like this and this?
Sorry. But I just don't understand.
Can someone explain?
Like. Is it the 100mm making it be like THAT close or are they fibbing on focus distance. Or are they cropping in after the picture??
Hahaaa. Thanks for any help, I'm just so used to being able to put my camera in macro "mode" and touching the object with the lens! :lmao:
