But you do need to flip the switch on the lens, dont have mine to hand, but I think the zoom has to be 100+.

The lens has to be between 180mm and 300mm to set the macro switch.
You can use it in any mode.

No, and you'll have more control over your camera with a semi manual mode such as Av, and just as much ability to focus on a close subject.Hi all, does the mode dial have to be set to macro when using this lens in macro mode????
Depending on the model, I think Macro mode on the camera may even over-ride JPEG settings like Sharpness and Saturatation as well as aperture.
Note that the K10D and K20D don't even have a Macro mode, but are just as able to take macro photos.

Got mine for 40 quid The macro mode is one of its best features, IMHO.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
