[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 442700, member: 12496"] I've never understood any of your "requirements" questions. I liken it to asking "Is $2.43 enough?". Enough for what? No clue here. I think there are no "requirements". If it serves your purposes, then clearly it's good to go. It does what it does. It does a lot. If you need more (magnification), then you need more. But probably not. Perhaps where the question started is that the formal definiton of "macro" is magnification of image size to greater than life size, which is 1:1. None of Nikons lenses can do more than 1:1, and as a result, what we call their macro lenses, Nikon labels them as micro lenses. Probably the last holdout honoring the older established terminology. That does not trouble any of us. :) Few of us work at 1:1 often anyway. [/QUOTE]
