Exciting with the new lenses. Could someone please explain what the difference in focal length will mean for macro shots? I fully understand what difference it makes in regular shooting conditions, but wouldn't "life size" 1:1 magnification become 1:1 regardless? What difference does it make then?
And another thing about macro; when objects become larger than life size, someone said that it is called micro rather than macro. Is that true?
