Once again not really, macro refers to magnification at capture. The
magnification ration refers to the size of the image on the recording
surface. 1:1 means that the image projected on the surface is the same
size as the object being captured. Not as obvious maybe in the case of
a three dimensional object, but extremely obvious if you plan to
photograph a postage stamp.

Not, really the field of view changes but the magnification doesn't.
Until you print it, or do something besides look at the image on the negative
or the sensor.
Of course, we're talking magnification at different stages in the process.
Language, she is a tricky thing. No?
If you print a 1:1 image, of the same subject, the actual size of the capture
medium, from any format, say 645, then do the same with 35mm and line up the
35mm print on top of the 645 print the subject will be the same size, but the
645 image will show more of the subject and it's surroundings.

It's interesting that the 1:2 definition has nothing to do with image size, or
field of view. A 1:2 lens on a u4/3 is effectively a lot more magnification
than 1:1 on a 645, or even a 645D, and about the same as 1:1 on a 35mm.

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthly search.
