    Well it works. But tell me how is a lens 16-300mm described as a macro? My 70-300 Olympus is described the same way. Not sure why.

      That's just how it is marketed Terry.

      I quote from reviews..

      https://www.ephotozine.com/article/t...t-review-25659

      "MACRO” is possibly something of a marketing term here since it’s not really a macro lens, though it does get down to a respectable 1:2.9 reproduction ratio (0.34x, or about 1/3 life size) when close focused at the 300mm zoom setting."

      "Closest focus distance is 39cm, which is very close for a lens that covers up to 300mm and focusing is performed internally."

      Cheers

        The closest my 100-400mm lens will focus is 2.2 metres! Would love to own a long lens with a respectable MFD


        Nice images Alan.
