what make macro lens different from normal prime lens?

Question

Can anyone give me detail about it?Thank you.

Answer 1

A lot of camera manufacturers use the word "macro" on their cameras but a true macro lens can make the subject 1:1 or greater ratio. These are usually quite expensive as well.

Answer 2

Macro lenses are special lenses designed for close-up work with smaller objects. Their specialized optics allow them to focus down to very close distances at magnifications usually up to 1:1, or 100% life-size, without requiring any other equipment. 1:2 would be 50% life-size, 1.5:1 would be 150% life-size, etc.
