[Leica] for nikon and/or macro enthusiasts

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

Nikon is the one company that reversed the otherwise accepted 
nomenclature and definitions for 'macro' and 'micro'. They called 
their lenses that went from infinity to 1:1 or less 'micro', and 1:1 
and higher magnification lenses 'macro' whereas the generally 
accepted usage was the reverse.
