Micro-contrast is the ability of the lens to communicate the richness and vibrancy of the inter-tonal shifts between the brighter to darker part of a very same color onto the sensor. A lens with great micro-contrast has much richer colours and tone transitions compared to a weaker one.

Einreb92, thank you very much for your reply! I have been looking closely at all the wonderful photography that members present and I am trying to figure out how to emulate the qualities I like. I'm in the process of deciding which camera and lenses to buy and it seems like my choice has to incorporate thinking about what I want my photo's to look like. Anyway, I appreciate your taking the time to educate me further.
