[QUOTE="JoeLewisPhotography, post: 57586, member: 3571"] Ummm the difference is, you can focus at 1:1 life size with a macro lens and not sacrifice quality. To get the same closeness with a non macro lens, that does not focus so close, you would be about a foot or more away, and you would have to severly crop the image, and lose tons of quality, therefore you are not getting "the job done". Well you are, just not to the same standards of using a quality macro lens. For situations where you cannot get so close, yes you can pull back some, hence the 105mm focal lenth. \ [/QUOTE]
