Thank you for any help.

With few exceptions (neither in production any longer either), any zoom that says "macro " in their title are not "true " macro lenses. They usually go to 1/4 to 1/2 life size, but since they are not "flat field" lenses, their IQ will drop off the closer you get to the edges of the frame.

The only "zoom macro" that I would consider a true macro lens is the Canon MPE-65 which zooms from 1:1 to 5:1. Since I'm a Nikon shooter, I'll let others chime in.
