Macro and Telephoto lens are both magnifying lens, the difference is that Telephoto is optimized for Far vision while Macro is optimized for Close vision. There are "macro adapter" add-on lens that are essentially "reading glasses" for telephoto lens.


A BCF member (think it was TexAg) mentioned using a long zoom lens focused as close as it can for macro, and that's what I did with that bees pic. I've got some interesting shots doing that.
