[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 442086, member: 24753"] This below from Fuji website which indicates the macro and super macro modes do in fact focus closer to the subject which is what macro really means>>>> Close Focus. It has a 1/2" sensor which I take to mean diagonally, so if you can use that to determine if you are getting 1:1 or closer. Take a shot of a ruler laid diagonal across the frame and see how close you can focus.
