![]() ![]() I deliberately wanted to group all of this together in the same paragraph because in the end, they are all closely related. You will understand why I am talking about the reproduction ratio in the paragraph below. Below the 1:1 ratio, is what we call proxy photography, which is the equivalent in common language to “close-up photography”! ![]() For example, being able to see the hairs of a spider in detail. Beyond 10:1, we speak of microphotography, which corresponds to extreme macro photography. To achieve 10:1, the subject that measures 1cm in real life would have to measure 10cm on the image, which is huge. In the real world, we call this macro photography when the magnification ratio is from 1:1 (minimum) to 10:1. What does that mean in practice? If your subject measures 1cm in the real world and also measures 1 cm in the image, then this is referred to as a 1:1 reproduction ratio. Also known as magnification ratio, the reproduction ratio represents the ratio between the size of a photographed subject and the size of its image on the sensor of your camera. We’ll simply start with the basics without going into too much detail to avoid headaches. At the end of the article, I will briefly talk about the different accessories that exist for macro photography. Indeed, everything that you need to know about macro lenses is presented here, and I will guide you in choosing your camera in this field. I want to start by thanking Hervé, a friend who lent me his macro equipment on several occasions and helped me write this article. Today, I will stick to the material aspect and try to answer to the best of my ability the question: which macro lens to choose and based on what criteria?Įven if I have already done a complete article explaining how to choose a camera lens, macro photography remains very particular on a lot of different aspects. Capturing close-ups is not as simple as you might think. I also wrote a full article dedicated to macro-photography, giving as much advice as possible to start off and progress in this field. I must admit that I am not a big specialist in this field, but I am still particularly interested in it! Macrophotography really is a very special field, that of the infinitely small! It is truly a field in photography that transports you to a parallel world, not visible to the naked eye or almost. ![]()
