Gerry -

I confess the math of this escapes me, although I've never really sat
down to crack it.    Magnification is generally better than 1:1 with a
"normal" lens, i.e from 40-60mm.  It has to do with symmetrical vs
asymmetrical lens design, pupillary magnification and such.  There are
probably guys on this list that can explain it!

There is a brief explanation of it in the Kodak Workshop series book
on Close-up photography.
