Are zoom lenses good for macro?

Some photographers prefer a zoom lens (camera lens with a variable focal length) for close-up and macro photography because it enables them to cover a variety of focal lengths without having to change lenses. The only problem is that zoom lenses don’t actually provide macro-focusing capabilities.

What makes a lens a macro lens?

A macro lens is a special type of camera lens that has the ability to work with very short focusing distances, taking sharp images of very small subjects. A true macro lens has a magnification ratio of 1:1 (or greater), and a minimum focussing distance of around 30cm.

What is the difference between macro and zoom lens?

A macro lens is used for extreme closeup images. A zoom lens has variable focal lengths. It lets you cover the range of several fixed focus (prime) lenses. A telephoto brings things that are far away closer.

What the difference between a macro lens and normal?

The only difference between a macro lens and a “regular” lens is the minimum focus distance. Macro lenses typically focus MUCH closer, but can still do everything else perfectly (i.e. they focus at infinity too). Another nice thing is that nobody makes a bad macro lens.
