I think there is an industry "standard" that allows any lens with a 1:4 magnification to be advertised as a macro lens. It seems rare to find a zoom that says it has better than 1:4. |

Just to jump in and keep things going: As well as being able to focus close, the lens has to provide a reasonable undistorted image at that distance. This is, I believe, the reason the dedicated macro lenses are so much more expensive.
