Is this considered macro?

[royal torrent]

definition of macro:

1:1 magnification

thats about it

it is closeups

the rigid definition is 1:1 or higher

it dosent need to be 1:1 though id hesitate to call it macro

id call it close up photography and not macro photography

the terms macro, close up, and micro are used a lot interchangeably. focal length matters too, 28mm macro will not look like a macroshot.

thats a nice shot though regardless

Ohhh

[ancient tundra]

most macros give their ratio in the specs. i have a macro lens that it 1:4 which means is not one to one more like 1.5? the math is goofy lol

there are even lenses claiming macro but honestly arent. and vice versa.

i should add im not a macro shooter lol 🤣

but occasionally dabble

[kindred rock]

closest i get to macro is close-focus telephoto stuff

the Nikkor Z lenses are surprisingly good at it

[ancient tundra]

[ancient tundra]

😁🤣

[kindred rock]

it's accurate to 500yd with cheapo Serb ammo

only complaint is that 6.5x55 is hard to get

[ancient tundra]

thats an odd caliber now

[kindred rock]

It’s relatively common in Euroland, but not here in the states

[ancient tundra]

well im in the states so lol

The rifles are inexpensive, I paid $800

Ammo is maybe $1.50 a round

[ancient tundra]

thats not bad at all. i have not shot in along time sadly. miss it tons. replaced it with archery as i dont need a range to shoot it LOL.

[kindred rock]

i'm basically only shooting rimfire these days

less expensive

[ancient tundra]

[kindred rock]

Had one, great little target pistol
