Question about macro lenses
Not too long ago, I got my hands on my first *REAL* digital camera
(REAL means worth more than $39.95US) - a Canon Powershot G2. Naturally, I went looking for goodies to go with it. I noticed that sometimes macro adapter lenses are listed like '10x' and sometimes they're listed like '+1', '+2', and '+4' See the following ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1 What, if any, is the difference between, say, a '4x' lens and a '+4' lens. And, while I'm on the subject, if the two different notations mean the same thing, wouldn't a '+1' lens be the same as a '1x' lens and, therefore, be a waste of space?? I'm so confused!!!! *** Free account sponsored by SecureIX.com *** *** Encrypt your Internet usage with a free VPN account from http://www.SecureIX.com *** |
