Depends, I think. In the same order of magnitude definitely.
Macro generally is when a lens will reproduce an object the same size on film/sensor as it is in life.
Hey that’s pretty cool. Is it really what happens?

I suppose tilt shift lenses can achieve that.
Paragone@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No, tilt-shift doesn’t have any bearing on whether it’s focal-length is high-enough to make the magnification 1:1…
hth!

Yep, most macro lenses such as the 90 to 105 range from Sigma, Canon, Nikon and their ilk tend to have a designation like 1:1 in the description.
This is normally based on a 35mm frame size, for cropped sensors the magnification is greater.

Actually for cropped sensors it’ll still be 1:1 but “cropped”
You can get more magnification if you use extension tubes or specialized lenses.

Cropped by way of a smaller sensor, but magnified if you compare a “full frame sensor” camera and a “crop sensor” camera with identical pixel counts. A penny will have a penny-sized projection on the sensor, but the image from the crop sensor will have ~40% more pixels of the penny.
