Re: 1 inch, not 1:1, is "good to remember" in macro

can I ask why?

For example because when you done the exact same exposure with macro you have other rules of counting of exposure than when you are not in macro range (thanks to using smaller format). So when the macro is "foolish" to connect with 1:1 magnification, you should forget to count with the magnification in case of macro range. Otherwise, who care of correct exposure lie to themself that 1:1 tag is not important.

And why Sekor? Yes, because it is cheap. And because i have it near to my hands and i can use it just for fun ( https://12in.cz/klic/fotografie/44_0_Mamiya-Sekor-105mm-f35 ) and sometimes it produce interesting result even with that cheap price tag.

And that "fun" tag is close to same as to use mobile phone as "macro camera" even when it cannot shoot macro.
