[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 275399, member: 15805"] Typically, a ratio of 1:1, or 1x magnification, is considered the start of macro. This means the projected image on the film or sensor is the same as the actual size of the subject. So if you are shooting with a 24x36mm (Full Frame) camera, and you shoot a 24x36mm subject, at 1:1 or 1x the subject will fill the frame. But this is not "official". There is no governing body with the authority to say exactly where 'macro' photography starts. 1:1 (1x) is simply a generally accepted consensus. [/QUOTE]
