Jens, Thank you. I know what macro is. I probably didn't formulate my question clearly enough.
The KMP site does not list this lens as having a macro capability, Pentax does not call it "macro" either. So, I was not sure if the lens had that capability or not, or why otherwise it had "macro" markings. As Fred explained, the lens does have a macro capability at 70mm. So, I am still a bit confused, why the lens is not called "macro"? Because it is macro only @70mm?

To be able to photograph small items like a flower, a map, a plate of food or whatever real close up. I don't remeber seing this lens before either. At 80 USD it's worth trying out.
