I have photographed my Stanley measuring device with a Pentax K10D and a Tamron SP 2.5/90mm lens - at closest possible focusing distance; 0.39 m. Is this macro? http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/477746425/
Maybe not. My sensor is 23.5mm. This image covers appr. 47mm. This means it's almost accurately half natural size - 50% on the sensor. Isn't macro photography supposed to be enlarging the subject? On a computer screen my 3872 pixel would look like 1366 mm. That's an enlarement of appr. 2900% (almost 30 times). But enlarging the copies (negs) is not really macro, is it?
