Macro lens as telephoto - a bad idea



Or is it?

I am not sure. If a company markets a lens as "macro," then one would think that it is designed for things small and tiny. But then, why don't they call it "micro??"


Anyhow, I got to thinking that if I used the lens in a way that I was not supposed to, like here, then I thought that the picture would come out pretty lame. It certainly did, but not as bad as I thought. What I did was to crank up the ISO to about 800, thinking that the noise is not an issue, and also allows me to shoot with faster shutter speed.
