the macro term is loosely applied, in general in means some sort of close

is always a flat field prime optimized for closeup, with at least 1:2 mag-

It's interesting that the 1:2 definition has nothing to do with image size, or
field of view. A 1:2 lens on a u4/3 is effectively a lot more magnification
than 1:1 on a 645, or even a 645D, and about the same as 1:1 on a 35mm.

That's right PJ Alling.
Many camera or lens manufacturers seem to confuse macro with close-up. Most
macro settings don't really do macro images (capture size equal to 1:1 or
larger) - jsut close-ups :-)
