<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2593289, member: 1892&quot;]Just be aware, a zoom lens is a compromise on <b>every</b> aspect of lens construction. It&#039;s a near-generality that even a cheap prime lens (no zoom) is clearer and sharper than any zoom lens, and if you exclude professional-level zooms then it&#039;s absolute truth. For a consumer camera such as this one, the compromises in lens construction will favor the features most likely to be used by the widest number of buyers, meaning macro capability won&#039;t be high on the list.</p><p><br /></p><p>The distance of closest focus will grow rapidly as you zoom in, because that function is meant to bring distant features closer, not to make larger images of things close to the camera. At maximum zoom in Macro mode, your lens will not focus on anything closer than 3 feet from the camera. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the record, for much of my shooting, the Jansjos are <i>touching</i> the sides of the lens, or very nearly. <i>That</i> close.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
