		| | That's MACRO!!  It's a setting on your camera so that you can take a picture of something very close to your lens.  Like within an inch even.  Check your camera's instruction book.  It will tell you all about it. |

		| | well my camera's simple, doesn't have a macro setting. So i'm going to take a picture, close up, will that suffice? |

		| | That'll do.  The point is just to get a very detailed, close picture. |

		| | Just an aside.  Long before digital cameras cost less than $100,000 a piece good old analog cameras had macro capicity.  I have a couple of macro zoom lenses that I still use with my trusty old Canon AE-1 bodies.

		| | Oh, I thought we were playing a game of Marco Polo.  Seriously, how much do you want for them and what kind of camera will it fit? |
