The ratio of the subject size on the film plane (or sensor
plane) to the actual subject size is known as the reproduction ratio. Likewise,
a macro lens is classically a lens capable of reproduction ratios greater than
1:1, although it often refers to any lens with a large reproduction ratio,
despite rarely exceeding 1:1.1.
Today, the term 'macro' is more widely used to describe equipment with some sort of close-focusing capability, and lenses with up to 1:4 magnification ratios (quarter life size) are often billed as having macro functionality.
Dedicated
macro lenses are not cheap ranging from £649.99
for a sigma 05mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM and for a Samsung silent focusing available for around £530 but they are optimized to operate at closer
than normal distance.
