DEF

A zoom lens for focusing on very close objects.

CONT

In addition to macro lenses with fixed focal lengths, there are also macro-zoom lenses that have a close-focusing capacity. These lenses magnify only up to one-quarter or one-third life size, and image quality in a critical enlargement may not match that of a normal macro lens.
