Vivitar sold a number of 70~75mm - 200~210mm lenses made by a number of
manufactures, it would help to know which particular one you were
talking about. It could be that "Macro" just means close focus,
(approximately 1:4 magnification), at it's maximum focal length.

Picked up a Vivitar 75-200mm f4.5 MC MACRO FOCUSING ZOOM for a song.
It is an "A" lens & works well but unfortunately has a bit of fungus
inside (which doesn't seem to affect it's performance). Is there any
easy way I can get rid of it without stripping the lens? I read on the
web that the spores can get out & "infect" other lenses so I don't
know if that's a problem too. Lastly, maybe I'm dof, but I can't
figure out how to get into macro mode. It doesn't "pop" like a similar
Soligor lens.
