Thanks for the info. I didn't think they would be. I was just puzzled when I read the info & it said they were macros. Anyway I picked them up at a garage sale for about $40 for both. The lady wanted to get rid of everything & it was near the end of the day when I found them in the bottom of a box. I needed a new wide angle since I dropped mine & cracked it, so I asked if I could get them both for the price of one. To my delight she said yes. If all elese fails I could get started on that chess set..:rofl: :rofl:

Also remember that the moniker Macro is tacked on to many lenses that are not macro. This is why Nikon calls their Micros. :lol:
