It's a macro, like the new Sigma. According to tests, the Sigma achieved its macro capability by design compromises elsewhere. It is weak at the long end. If I were shopping for such a lens (I have the older, non-macro Sigma EX 70-200 F2.8), I would rather that it be good at 200 mm than that it have macro capability. So I will be interested to see what reviews say of the Tamron--whether Tamron also made design compromises to achieve macro capability.
