Well it does go to almost 1:2 which is true macro. It's a bit longer than a
50mm macro which gives you a bit more working distance. In all I don't think
that's a bad thing in what is really a compromise lens. Especially since it's
quality is surprisingly good.

Oops, didn't know about that :)
Well, I kinda knew that a smaller front element meant changes in the optical
design, but I was talking about the resulting pictures rather than the
lenses themselves.
Could you explain the difference between "close focusing" and "macro
focusing"? Also, from wha

Of the five manual focus VS1 70-210's, the first three (f/3.5 with
67mm threads, f/3.5 with 62mm threads, and f/2.8-4 with DOF lines
flaring out toward the zoom ring) appear to be very good lenses. The
last two are not usually as highly regard
