The Nikkor 28-300 VR offers a MFD of just 50cm thoughout the whole focal range. 300mm at 0.5m, wow <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Anybody expecting to be able to use it as a macro should carefully check the maximum magnification: 0.32x. Being a IF lens, the Nikkor dramatically increases the angle of view upon closer focus.

Well, 300mm (at infinity) and 0.32x at 50cm roughly calculates to a focal length of 92mm at MFD ...
so "dramatically" could have been written even in capital letters.
