Interesting to see the comments of the purists.  Glad they can lug around many pounds of camera, tripod and lens in their macro shooting.  Me?  I'm glad to have a lightweight tool that takes pictures that are "good enough" to remind me of my adventures.

Take this picture from a few weeks ago, a walk in the late fall woods on a rainy day, where I had no expectation of a photo subject.  The picture was with my Pixel 6 Pro, which doesn't even have a "macro" mode.  It does have a telephoto lens that strangely focuses quite close.  It's limitation is that I can't control the focal point nearly as easily as I can my ILC macro rig.  OTOH, I always have it with me...

True macro or close-up?  I'll let you argue the point (which seems to get debated a lot by some here).  I don't care.
