Can you get a 1:1 with a 100mm macro lens........If so, how, I am trying to learn how to do it.

You can get a 1:1 with any true macro lens. Lets try with a dime. If you take a picture of a dime and take it go edge to edge, that is a 1:1. That is a pretty simple explanation.

Actually, a U.S. Quarter is 24-mm diameter. Canon APS-C sensors are 22.3-mm wide, and Nikon APS-C sensors are 23.6-mm wide. A true 1:1 macro-photograph of a quarter will just clip the edges, side-to-side.You can get a 1:1 with any true micro lens. Lets try with a dime.

One can test this by shooting the same image with a 35mm film camera and a digital camera with a cropped (dx) sensor. I doubt many on this site are shooting FX digital (full frame).Erv wrote:
