Macro adapters vs lens adapters.

Macro adapters vs lens adapters. I’m a bit confused. I am looking at getting some nikon lenses for my a6000 because they are cheaper and I got an adapter with my camera. From what I understand from the internet adapters have no affect on the image quality or focal length but why then does a macro adapter lead to macro shots but extending the lens the same distance with an emoun…

Confirm my understanding about the difficulty of using high magnification (2x or 5x) macro lenses, and another general macro question?

( www.reddit.com )

Confirm my understanding about the difficulty of using high magnification (2x or 5x) macro lenses, and another general macro question? It is my understanding that if a macro lens has 1x magnification, that means that the object will cast a 1x life-sized image on to the image sensor (meaning the object on the resulting picture is huge) when the lens is at the minimum focal distance. I also hear that 2x macro lenses will be quite difficult to use due to razor thin depth of field,…

What is considered a “macro” shot?

( www.reddit.com )

What is considered a “macro” shot? Howdy! I know there are macro lenses. But what, actually, is considered a macro shot? I took a photograph of a flower without a macro lens, zoomed and upclose. But it doesn’t seem to have that macro “je ne sais quoi”. Maybe even closer (not sure I can focus closer than this – that’s why I’d need a macro lens?)? Maybe wider aperture? I’m going …
