eh...anyone knows whats the difference between a 100mm zoom and a 100mm macro lens?

what does the macro actually mean?

i tried taking pics of butterflies, but i find that i need a super zoom rather than a macro lens to really zoom in to them.

The focusing distance and magnification ratio between a normal zoom against a macro lens are different though.

Zoom means, that your lens is a telephoto lens.


Example 55-250mm telephoto lens. Zoom means that the lens barrel can shift different distances. From 55mm to 250mm.


The 100mm macro lens, is like a prime lens. It cannot shift distances. It has a prefixed value of 100mm all the time. Macro, enables extreme closeups. Usually a lens needs some distance before it can focus. This distance is usually quite large. Not small enough to capture small subjects in detail. So what the Macro function does, is that it enables the lens to focus at a closer distance to capture the subject and the details.

Hope it helps.

I guess you should just do with 2nd hand body such as 400D for backup. Less costly and affordable as backup unit. ;)
Don't really like the 400D. Gosh, if i had the money, i'll just sell away everything and get the 5DMkII. Hehe.:)

wah the movie quite nice..
but i guess HD movies are kinda expected to look like that ba..

i just thought its weird. i'd rather get a big zoom lens than a macro lens.
what would be a good shot with a macro lens?
 

Okie! Here are the photos of the camera insert which I bought over the weekend at OP.

Picture 1: This is the insert in my timbuk2 messenger bag. Mine is the large version.

Flowers, Insects. Small things. Portraits. Low light photography.
