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.
Jim: You looked at the AF version. I have the MF version which only goes to 1:2. So in other words Nikon use micro (their term) for 1:2. I think the 70-180 micro zoom also only goes to about 1:1.3.
