        No, all lenses are slightly darker at their minimum focus
        than they are when focused at infinity.  Macros focus closer, 
        so they lose more light.  Your macro lens is smart enough to 
        let the camera body know the effective aperture at the current
        focusing distance -- which I think is pretty cool.
