It might sound like a stupid question but there’s something puzzling me for a while..
Having used point and shoots all my life using the same camera for any situations, all my previous cameras had a macro button(flower) wich permits to get very close to an object to snap it.. Since i have my dslr and no macro lens, I can be at about a feet of the object and zoom in until i get approximately the same result..
Now my real question is how will the picture be different from a real macro lens, compared to my regular lens zoomed in?
As an example, how will this picture be different or better if it had been taken with a macro lens?

I’ve never used a macro either, Eric so I’m also waiting to hear.
I would guess that with a macro you can focus at a much shorter distance.

Me too, but what does a macro give as a gain compared to zooming in.. there has to be something, some macro lens are sooo expensive..

Well.. One thing is that on a macro you can zoom and come very close to the object after the foto is taken, and it will still be a good pic. You can take a pic. with a “normal” lens and zoom in so you get a macro, but it will be a bad one, it will start to show pixels..

The macro lens is going to let you get closer and sharper and just do it better.
but yea its gona cost my nikor 105mm was $984
To be honest I was never into macto, but I think it is time to start. I just got 105mm and will be testing it soon. Stay tuned and you’ll see a video about macro from me. And yes, macro lenses are sharper with more details and you can come much clothes to the subject. For example if lens says it is 1:1, it means that things will show up on the camera sensor their life size. Let say something is 10mm. It will be 10mm on the camera sensor.
