I'm trying to figure out the difference between the title micro and macro on some lenses. I see some "zoom" lenses are listed as macro and some are micro. Can a 200 mm zoom be either? If so, how are they different? Also, I would like to solicit opinions on a good zoom lens for shooting my daughter while she competes outside, in winter at snowboarding competitions. I would like to use one lens but sometimes she will be 500 feet away and sometimes 50 feet. My friend uses a sigma 150-500 on his D90 and I love the results but I'm not sure I can justify a grand for a lens to my wife. She's already jealous of the time I spend reading the manual....lol. Would a 300 mm nikkor zoom be good enough?   Thanks in advance!</p></blockquote><p></p>
