What is the difference between a 50mm and 100mm macro lens?

To give you an idea of the difference in shooting distance between focal lengths, a 100mm macro lens used at approximately 45cm from the subject will have the same magnification as a 50mm lens used at only 23cm from the subject.

Can Nikon Z use DX lenses?

Nikkor Z DX lenses so far

Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR: This little retracting lens is a great match for the Z50 and Z fc, but there’s no sign of any constant aperture ‘pro’ version.

4. Best EF macro lens for precision sharpness and blur: Canon TS-E 135mm f/4L Macro.

How close can you get with a macro lens?

A macro lens is a dedicated camera lens that is optically optimized to handle extremely close focusing distances. It can take sharp, highly detailed images of microscopic subjects. It typically has a magnification ratio of 1:1 and a minimum focusing distance of around 12 inches (30 centimeters) or less.

Can you shoot macro without a macro lens?

If macro photography is something you’d like to delve into without first having to invest in a macro lens, you have several options to choose from—close-up filters, reversal rings, and extension tubes.
