Waht does the word, Macro, mean on this lens? The magnification is listed as .25x, compared to my Minolta 100mm f2.8 Macro, for which the magnification is listed as 1:1 -- which is what I thougt I needed for a Macro lens to be Macro?

Thanks,

Alex
Michael Hohner answers:
The "Macro" designation on this lens is mainly marketing.

Is this a "good" lens i.e. if I'm buy a "good" camera (e.g. Sony Alpha 700), should I upgrade from this lens?
Michael Hohner answers:
There are certainly better lenses, like the 70-300 SSM, but of course, these are also more expensive. It depends only on your needs and budget whether you have to upgrade your lenses or not.
