"Macro" is Greek for large.

Nikon call their range of "macro" lenses "Micro".

I guess it really does depend on semantics and how you define it.

For me, anything that is close up I would consider "Macro".
A common definition I have seen is macro= 1:1 to about 10:1. Micro= > 10:1 (i.e. through a microscope) - TF
