Are Macro lens's the same as Telephoto Lens's?
I see descriptions for lens's like "Product Image
Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG APO HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon SLR Cameras " and "Product Image
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon SLR Cameras "
One says "Telephoto" and One says "Macro Telephoto". Since they are both telephoto what makes one macro?
Will this also affect a what kind of wide angle lens I purchase?
By the way I have a Nikon D60
A telephoto is a lens that gives you a closer view (think telescope) than a normal lens would. The ones you are describing are zooms that have telephoto focal lengths in their range.
Macro is a feature (often exaggerated) that lets you focus on subjects closer than normal. This lets you take photos of subjects usually within a few feet of you and the camera.
The term "macro" and "micro" are interchangeable, but originally meant that you could focus close enough that the subject would be virtually the actual size on the 35mm film or digital sensor. True macro lenses give you an image on a 1 to 1 ratio, but that description has evolved to 1 to 2 or less in most cases.
FYI, the 70-300mm does not have an autofocus motor and won't autofocus on your D60. But the APO 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO does.
