![]() Macro lenses with a longer focal length have a correspondingly longer minimum focusing distance, putting more working space between you and what you’re shooting when you need to maximize magnification.įor example, the Nikon AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8G Micro lens (Nikon uses ‘Micro’ instead of macro in its lens classifications) has a minimum focusing distance of 16cm. Instead, it’s all about the minimum focusing distance. ![]() Unlike when buying regular lenses, it’s not really about wide-angle coverage or telephoto reach. Focal lengthĪ crucial consideration when choosing a macro lens is the focal length. They’re generally not much larger, heavier or more expensive, and you’ll avoid any heartache if you upgrade to a full-frame camera body in the future. However, you’re often better off buying a full-frame compatible macro lens. There are several macro prime lenses on the market that are designed exclusively for APS-C format cameras. It’s a similar effect to the way that crop-sensor cameras boost the effective telephoto reach of a lens. ![]() There’s a bonus if you’re using an APS-C format camera with a 1.5x or 1.6x crop factor, as you’ll fill more of the image frame with smaller objects, giving greater ‘effective’ magnification.
