The page of a book becomes a landscape of fibers stained with ink… You can get lost in the feather of a peacock… Macro lenses let you see ordinary objects in a completely new way. I can see every detail of every scuff and scratch. Now let’s use a macro capable lens at 2cm, less than an inch. Let’s repeat the experiment with the wide angle lens of the iPhone, which can focus at 15 cm, about six inches.Īs you can see, while a telephoto lens works great at taking photos from afar, it slightly underperforms against a wide angle lens that can get up-close. Now we’ll just crop and blow up the crown in our favorite image editor… Let’s take a photo of my Apple Watch’s crown from that distance. The iPhone 13 Pro’s telephoto “zoom” lens has a minimum distance 60cm (about two feet). It’s a principle that applies to any lens if you bring your finger close to your eye, you’ll struggle to focus at a certain point. If you’re a beginner photographer, you might ask, “What’s so special about a macro lens? I already have a zoom.” Well, all lenses have a minimum focus distance, the closest a lens can get to its subject and still focus on it. The author called anything magnified more than 10× “photo-micrography,” and anything less was “photo-macrography.”ġ22 years later, we’re still stuck with that term. You’d think anything but macro, since that actually means ‘big.’ Well, ‘macro’ came from an article written in 1899 about high magnification photography. So what is ‘Macro’, anyway? “Extreme closeup photography” is a mouthful, so photographers needed a shorter name. At the end, we have a special surprise for you - especially those not using an iPhone 13 Pro.

Let’s take a tour of what this lens unlocks, some clever details you might miss in its implementation, why its “automatic” nature can catch you off guard, and much more.

This opens a whole new dimension for iPhone photographers, but it’s not without surprises.
