    I would say the guy doesn't know anything about lenses or what any of theses numbers and letters mean. I agree with jack request a photo of the box that shows the description.
    Happy shooting,
    Joseph

    So if you're buying the lens mostly for it's macro capabilities, go for it.

    I couldn't agree more, my macro is so shallow in dof manual focus is the only way to us it.

    I specifically moved from the Nikon D40X to the D90 so I could use my 60mm F/2.8 Macro. It's a wonderful lens whether used for close-up work or portraits. Example below:
