Your post beat mine by about 60 seconds!
Anyway ... check again on your 200mm lens! The literature says: Focuses from infinity to 19.4 inches (1:1 reproduction ratio). Sounds like life size to me!
But your comment on manufacturers using the term macro to oft times mean smaller than life size, you are very correct.
