Sorry, delete my previous comment - should have appeared on Part 5, not here. Oops!

Okay, comment on this page. I like the "older AF lenses" bit. As far as I'm concerned AF is the "new" technology - all my beautiful Olympus Zuiko lenses are strictly battery-free manual focus items - and digital is... Well, it's so far off the silly other end of the technology scale I'm not even interested.

Back in the 1970s, I was given this excellent rough definition.

Close-up photography is anything between the closest focusing distance of your unaided lens, and 1:1 reproduction on the film. You use extension rings, close-up (+ dioptre) lenses, and soon.

Macrophotography is creating images of between 1:1 and 10:1 on the film/sensor.

Anything over 10:1 is microphotography - though this used to be called photomicrography, since it was usually done through a microscope. True "microphotography" is when you photograph ordinary objects down to very small size on the negative with extreme clarity (such as microdots).

Thanks my friend... this fills in a few gaps in my understanding of the digital photography world.
