On that note, I'm still primarily an APS-C shooter and think in APS-C terms. The 44mm equivalent of the 24-70 is pretty short, has the working distance been specified?

Since the lens extends quite a bit, and it is only 70mm (44mm) the subject distance will be small. About 3cm (according to dpreview) at 0.7x (obviously a little longer at my estimated 0.35x). That is small, so you do have to take care about light angles to prevent shadows. Just like with my 35mm f2 with 12mm ext. tube, with about 6cm working distance at about 0.5x (which then has a working distance of 10cm at 0.35x).
The 70mm being longer than 35mm will make the distance at 0.35x a bit longer.
Not ideal, But i could work with it <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Also, apparently you have a small zoom range in macro mode, complicating matters a bit more. One would have to play with the lens to get a full idea of what its macro mode is about.
