It is by no means a macro lens, they call it that, because it can focus from a short distance, that comes close to the distances used by macro lenses. But if you'll like to shoot macros, get a lens that is capable to shoot 1:1. But the close focusing capabilities come in very handy in a fish-eye none less, as that will give you the ability to really emphasize foreground elements in your shots!
Thank you so much for your input. Shang
