What I was wondering is do they shift the lens forward, effectively making behave as though there were a tube attached in order to get the extra macro to 1.2 : 1? If so that is going to put the front element very close. Maybe with this set up it isn't as hazardous to the lens as it would ordinarily be...if you can tell from the lighting when you are too close to the subject.
Yeah, I agree that 45mm comment has no place in a discussion of a macro lens. Yes the FOV will be different, but working distance, lighting, sharpness, and DoF are the defining qualities of this lens. And actual focal length and f-stop at MFD. Well, I guess the good news for Photozone is that reviews continue to be necessary!
