Usually macro lens are small and compact cos very siong to carry such a huge lens and try to stay still to take something very very small... trust me I tried with a 70-21- f/2.8... whole hand ache for the rest of the day.

Detach the lens hood and it will not look so big.

Actually, macro lenses are generally bigger than its cousin... so minolta 50mm f2.8 macro is bigger than Minolta 50mm f1.4 and Minolta 100mm f2.8 Macro is bigger than 100mm f2 or 135 f2.8.

What is the different btw D and non-D version?

What is the different btw D and non-D version?

The Advanced Distance Integration that helps the flash produce a good exposure when u have a reflective background. It basically measures the subject to camera distance as well as the subject to background distance. I think with ADI the flash panel on the 5600 will have a graphic with the distances mentioned above.
