in terms of general capabilities, it seems to mimic the 15-45mm

The 28mm macro is an utterly and completely different proposition to the 15-45.

You're talking rubbish. Again.

Of course it sounds like rubbish when you quote out of context.  Maybe try reading my entire post.

That is an interesting photo, but it does not change the fact that the 28mm is an awkward macro lens.  At 1:1 magnification, your subject is only 18mm (0.7") from the front element.  At 1.2X, you are down to only 13mm (0.5").  The bumblebee in the photo above is itself longer than the distance to the front element.

A more traditional macro lens, like the OP's EF 100mm Macro, gives you 150mm (6.0") of distance between your subject and the front element.
