Answer: Cuz the marketing department says so.  because they wanted to have some reason to rebadge the same lens for publicity's sake. my guess is they saw all the other 16/17/18-50/55 2.8 lenses coming out, and felt theirs wasnt getting enough attention. so the added a macro badge to almost the exact same lens and are readvertising it to keep in competition. Mr. the Kid.
