the 70-300 is soft from 200-300 wide open, Also its autofocus is pretty slow, And the macro isn't really "Macro" If i remember right its only 1:3.9
IF you want Macro for bugs and skittish things, Bet the 60, 90 or 105mm Macro's out there (some range up into the 800$ range, but there is some decent 350$ ones)
50-200mm f4 is very dark considering the other sub 200$ lenses in that range.. so i'm guessing whoever makes that isn't putting too much stock into it...
Aka if you want a good portrait lens, I think your best bet would be the Nikon Canon, OR Sigma 70-200mm f2.8, Its wide open enough that if you want the extra mm, you could by a teleconvertor, Also its a little bit (but not much better) MAcro performer than the other 2 lenses.
Its not cheap, 800$-1200-1800$ (Sigma - Nikon - Canon) But its a keeper.
