Cleraly to get a shorter focusing distance than the usual. It's actually very nice when you are travelling. To be able to photograph small items like a flower, a map, a plate of food or whatever real close up. I don't remeber seing this lens before either. At 80 USD it's worth trying out.

I am curious of what is the purpose of the "macro" range on this a 70-210 /4 lens: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7579235076&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWA:IT - see the second image in the first raw: http://i18.ebayimg.com/03/i/05/c3/47/14_1.JPG KMP page doesn't mention any macro capability of this lens. Is this a variation of the lens, or what? I've noticed this when that auction was still active, but was afraid to violate the rule related to pointing to an active eBay auction. Igor
