Macro, what is it and what does it mean.

[Dylan8i]

thats true, however look at it this way. if i wanted an 8x10 close up of a salamander. and i had a full frame, or an aps sensor. and the same macro lens. the aps sensor is going to appear larger for that print, and thus be more magnified than the full frame at an 8X10. That is also basic physics.


that result is what really matters, not what size is actually hitting the sensor, because unlike film you can't see the image at that size, and it is instantly enlarged.... so that is the size we need to compare.
