Anyone got a link to a site that explains lens and camera terms like what is APO or what does Macro mean?

Thanks redtail7

Apochromat is a lens corrected for chromatic aberration in all three primary colors.

Macro is the ability of a lens to focus just inches away from an object or subject so as to produce big close-ups.
