The magnification of the macro lenses we use is absolutely one of the most important specifications, with ratios like 1:2 and 1:1 being more common, but those that can exceed life-size are few and far between. The Japanese company Yasuhara is developing a brand new macro lens called NANOHA, with an impressive magnification ratio of up to 5 times, taking enthusiasts into another level of macro photography. It will be available in both M4/3 and NEX mount versions.
