minimum focus distance question Anonymous
i think that the minimum focus distance is measured starting from that mark there in in the red circle

first of all, does that distance change if you have a zoom lens? does it get longer the more you zoom in?

let's say the nikon 18-200 vr

>> Minimum Focus Distance 1.6' (0.5 m)

at 18mm, i am pretty wide, focus the closest to 50 cm and it works

does this mean i can zoom in without moving at all, to 200mm and still take a picture that's focused properly?

i thought it was measured from the film/sensor plane.

yes, i think it is, but isn't that line the focal plane?

You are all correct.

the tip of the lens has nothing to do with this at all?
