[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 339053, member: 24753"] Magnification is a result of focal length and focus distance. The longer the focal length the greater the magnification. The shorter the focus distance the greater the magnification. A macro lens simply focuses closer than other lenses resulting in a greater magnification. At 1:1, 1 millimeter of subject covers 1 millimeter of sensor, 10mm of subject covers 10mm of sensor, etc. A shorter focal length macro will have a closer focus distance than a longer focal length macro if both are 1:1 lenses.
