Re: Understanding Focal Lengths on Macro Lenses

Most current macro lenses "breathe" heavily toward a wider focal length by 1:1 - and in consequence the traditional 2x is now often shorter.

Yes, my apo sigma 150 for example with internal focusing. Without internal focusing a lens behaves like described, for example my Canon MP-E.
