Can't i get just as close by cropping a bit more? I would think the sharpness of the lens is as important as how close you can physically shoot.
I guess what I'm confused about is what is special about macro lenses? It seems to me that the sharpness of the lens, and MP count of camera will have just as much affect on how "close" one can get to a subject.
Wouldn't the MP count of the sensor have a lot to do with it? One could crop 2X the amount on a 12MP camera as on a 6MP. Is it basically that macro lenses are sharp and let you get closer than other lenses?
If my lens is sharp enough and sensor has lots of MPs, can't I get "close" as macro lens? I just cropped penny some more, and this is no "L" lens (understand I might not be able to print big):
