Macro zoom lenses let you zoom in on your subject while maintaining image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Browse the top-ranked list of macro zoom lenses below along with associated reviews and opinions.

"Very light weight compact zoom...This is a very light weight telephoto zoom with macro capabilities. This lens retracts when you are not zooming out so it can fit into most camera bags. ...The most fun lens I’ve owned in a long time...This lens is way too much fun. 1/2 macro across the entire zoom range is sharp, edge to edge.

"Great Underwater Compact Camera we have followed this model since the TG 3 and it fits perfectly inside the ikelite underwater housing also add the OM Systems F-CON-2 Lens and shoot fisheye or macro subjects"

"Great affordable lens...Love this lens! Perfect for portraits and macro shots....Best RF lens for portraits and Macro on budget...An awesome lens for the low budget photographer. Lens is light and good for shooting portraits and Macros. "

"Excellent lens option for macro and wide angle. Cannot if it’s worth the price though. ...Great lens. using on a canon R5. Lighter than the other Canon wide angle zooms."

"Canon Macro Lens...Amazing product! The macro zoom is amazing! I used it for nature shots and loved it...My Canon Macro lens...This canon 100 macro is the bomb. I love the lens."

"Sony 50mm Macro lens...I did not use it to make macros images of anything other than the copy of Negatives to digital for archiving....Great lightweight macro lens...Great lightweight macro lens. The pictures (and movies) created with lens are exactly what I was needing. "

"24mm lens...Absolutely love my new lens , great addition to my 50mm lens. And large aperature means great for night photography....still had sharp images and macro is pretty close for its size! a great walk and shoot lens!"

P-polarized light, or transverse magnetic (TM) mode, refers to the polarization component that is parallel to the plane of incidence. This means that when the light is incident upon a surface, the electric field of p-polarized light lies entirely in the plane of incidence, oscillating in a direction parallel to this plane. This orientation contrasts with s-polarization where the electric field is perpendicular to the plane of incidence.

"Very useful lens...Overall would recommend to those who need a small light lens that zooms!...One of my favorite lens to own...Good choice for close up shots, macro shots. Got this on a open box deal, was in excellent condition!"

"Excellent zoom lens...It surprised me of what can be done with f4 lens....I can’t believe the pictures I’m getting from this f4 zoom lens. Pair the IS with the r5 or r6’s IBIS and you can hand hold photos for up to one second exposure!!! "

"Fantastic Lens...Not full macro but is great to get started with macro photography....Good Macro Entry Lens...Good Macro capable lens and good for full-body portraits."

The understanding of s and p polarization is crucial in many optical applications such as designing polarizers, optical coatings, and laser systems. These polarization states can affect the reflectivity, refractive behavior, and transmission through different materials and are often taken into account when designing optics for specific applications.

"Wonderful Lens. light enough to hand hold. Nice Zoom range....In short, an outstanding lens at any focal length that can also sports a minimum focus distance that allows it provide decent magnification as a macro lens. "

"Extremely versatile lens...It took my bird photography to a new level, it’s sharpness and zoom reach is outstanding, I’ve also been using it for close up macro type shots with very pleasing results. ...A great lens that's a bit pricey....This is a great lens. It's very sharp to almost full zoom and lightweight considering how far out it reaches. "

"As a bonus you can also shoot pretty decent macro shots. It does have variable aperture, under low light it can be a little bit of a torture test if you shoot from far away."

Polarization is a property of waves that can oscillate with more than one orientation. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, exhibit this property. In the context of polarization, 'S' stands for 'senkrecht' meaning perpendicular, and 'P' for 'parallel', indicating their respective orientations with respect to the plane of incidence when light is reflected or transmitted at a boundary.

"Camera zoom lens...Get this zoom lens for the cannon camera , so so good....For context, my favorite lens I’ve gotten so far is the rf110 L macro. However, the L lenses are heavy and bulky for travel, so all in all, this 24-105 kit lens is likely to be the compromise of choice for many users. "

"Versatile and reliable zoom lens...Good, everyday versatile, starter zoom lens for everyday use. Solid build, sharp pictures, but not as sharp as a prime lens of course. ...Lens review...Amazing zoom lens, exactly what I wanted & needed!"

"I normally put it in MF so it is not “breathing” when not aimed at a subject. One note, it is a MACRO lens as well. This means that it is capable of focusing on very small increments and very close up to your subject"

S-polarized light, also known as transverse electric (TE) mode, refers to the polarization component of an electromagnetic wave that is perpendicular to the plane defined by the direction of propagation and the normal to the reflecting surface (the plane of incidence). When light hits a surface and is s-polarized, the electric field oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the plane of incidence, and no component of this field lies in that plane.
