Question: Can I use a Macro lens for normal day-to-day landscape photography too?

I’m about to buy a new Canon DSLR camera (EOS 400D) and not sure which kit to get? I do a bit of Macro photography, especially water drops and such, so was thinking of getting the Macro kit which comes with an EF-S 60mm macro lens. But if I get this will I be limited in what I can use the camera for or can I use a Macro lens for taking normal pictures also?

Answer: It all depends on how you define “landscape.” Most people take this to mean broad, scenic vistas. I hate to quote a dictionary, but mine says, “Scenery as seen in a broad view.”

A 60 mm lens on the 400D is going to be a mild telephoto. It is GREAT for some things and I use my 60 mm macro lens for many things other than strictly macro work. It’s probably the sharpest lens I own right now.

If you check these out, I think you will see that you wil need a wider lens. In this example, the 17 mm is “classic” landscape and the 35 mm is okay by some people.

Here are some more. I’d say the 17 mm is good for landscape.

However…

Is this landscape at 111 mm? (70 mm on your camera): http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/459603923/
It’s scenic, but probably not “landscape” in a strict definition.

Ditto:
135 mm: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/409564887/
70 mm: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/1250011561/
Probably a 35 mm on film (22 mm on your 400D): http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/1077174373/

In other words, you really want about 24 mm or wider for landscape.

Get the 17-55 kit lens with the 400D. It is a decent lens and you will NEVER buy another lens at such a good price as you can when you buy it bundled with the body in a kit. It sounds like the 60 mm macro should be your next purchase, though.

Another excellent place to find Macro Photography is on Amazon… They have way more than just books!

Question: How do macro photography with original instruments for the sharpest picture of the ability of the camera?

Dear photography experts need your help in macro photography. I have a Sony DSC H20, and want to use for this purpose the problem is that not supposed to buy me anything. only use computers at home that I have plenty.PLEASE help … All answers are warmly welcome THANX.

Answer: This camera has a Carl Zeiss lens, which is very good. The camera is really designed to make it easier for non-photographers to take good pictures. Thus is not the right tool for your application. However, as the site of Sony, the lens has a macro mode. There was no indication of the minimum distance approach. That is your best option, it will not be easy to get diopters for this camera. Discover how to use macro mode to read the manual. You did not say what would be the photograph, particularly with regard to how close they have to get there. So you may or may not work for you. In macro photography, the whole movement magnifica. It is essential to use a tripod or other stabilizing mechanism jury rigged with a remote trigger or timer. You can not get a good macro photos in the most cases by holding the camera in his hands. Also consider the lighting. Camera flash is insufficient in most cases because they are not aimed properly on a subject very close. So outside of using a camera flash or some kind of supplemental lighting. The additional lighting could be something as simple as two lamps put aside the subject and outside the image area. You will have to correct white balance in post processing if you does this. Finally, pay attention to the background. Use a neutral colored cloth or cardboard.
