These are definitely not macro. lol
Here is some of the nothingness I am facing these days, nothing fancy just a looong bumpy drive everyday. Out here you can go 100's of miles any direction and not find anyone, maybe a trapper if your lucky. The second pic is taken at the end of the first.

Features;
True flat-field macro lens that can focus to full life-size magnification
Fill the frame with a subject the size of a penny
Working distance of nearly 4 inches from front of lens to subject at 1x
Canon's shortest focal length macro lens ever with fully internal focusing
Accepts both MR-14EX Macro Ring Lite and MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite
Circular aperature design - natural highlights, even stopped down two stops
Optimized for digital SLRs: special coatings to minimize reflections and flare

A thoroughly modern design that's optimized for select Canon EOS digital SLRs. Its angle of view is equivalent to a 96mm lens on a 35mm camera, with a floating optical system that can focus down to full life-size (1:1) magnification. Inner focusing, driven by a silent and powerful ring-type USM, means the lens' overall length never changes during focus. This lens is a wonderful multi-purpose lens that's equally at home shooting macro shots, portraits or available-light photos.

4 inches is pretty good.... sounds like a winner. 2.8 means it will gather enough light at such a close distance. Go for it.
