Close-up
photography requires a use of lenses specifically designed for close-up
photo work,
called macro lenses. These lenses provide consistently high optical
quality when taking close-up photographs. Most of macro lenses are
optimized to provide its best performance at a magnification of 1:1,
some special macro lenses can achieve higher magnification up to 5:1.
However, "standard" 1:1 macro lenses are more common, and many of these
find frequent use for general photography because of their excellent
optics. Most of the close-up images in this section were taken with 90mm macro
lens (with or without close-up filter “lens”), 18-200mm, 80-270m and with
80-400mm zoom
lens. |
