[QUOTE="hark, post: 753206, member: 13196"] I have a Sigma 70-210mm 'macro' zoom lens that I used with my 35mm film camera. The downside is these lenses aren't true macro lenses since they typically offer a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio (meaning the images will either appear 1/2 or 1/3 size of the scene). And the quality of glass usually isn't quite as good as a prime macro lens - or as fast. It was fun for experimenting but lacked showing details. I don't know if any zoom 'macro' lenses are still being made especially since there are prime macro alternatives that aren't overly pricey. [/QUOTE]
