What exactly is a macro lens and what makes it different from a non-macro lens? Is it literally just the 1:1 or other things come into play?
Someone is selling a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 macro lens for well under MSRP. I'm in the market for a portrait lens in this focal range. It's f/2.8 and have image stabilization so those are big bonuses. I just don't know if a macro lens would be good for this or not.
