Macro lenses are specialized camera lenses designed for capturing close-up images of small subjects, such as insects, flowers, and intricate details. They allow photographers to focus on objects at a very short distance, often achieving a 1:1 magnification ratio, meaning the subject appears life-sized in the photograph. This capability makes macro lenses ideal for exploring the beauty of the miniature world. These lenses typically have a longer focal length, which helps maintain a comfortable working distance from the subject. Many macro lenses also feature a wide aperture, allowing for beautiful background blur, or bokeh, that enhances the subject's details.
