Hi my name is Grant. I've been trying to do a little bit of research on this lens before I buy one for myself. I found one on ebay for a pretty decent price, and the focal range on this lens really intrigued me. My question for this discussion is what type of lens is this? Is it a Macro or regular Zoom lens? When I see Zoom + Macro on the lens it kind of confuses me. If anyone can answer this for me I would gretly appreciate it. -Grant
