I decided that I didn’t want to buy without actually trying out a selection to see whether marketing buzz words contributed to perceived performance
went to Cley Spy in North Norfolk where some very nice people let me play with an enormous selection, in an open field, without hassling me

You say that this is one shot from a pano sweep
assuming some overlap between shots:
- if it appears in the adjacent shot it’s real, and outside the camera
- if it does not appear in the adjacent shot it’s in camera
Fortunately, not all clubs are like this. We have had excellent talks by:
- armed forces photographer
- stills tog working with the Planet Earth team
- police crime scene photographer
- sports photographer with national newspaper
etc
If you’re in two minds why not pop in to a local club and see...
As said above - I think a geared head is the way to go
However, I've had success shooting the moon using a gimbal. perhaps consider the option that would suit your other preferred subjects/style - eg. gimbal if you shoot wildlife; geared head if you shoot landscape.
Similar to Chris, above.

I've had a quick look at the spec for the Nikon 24-70 (pre VR)
It seems that the max magnification is 1:3.7. This means that you'll fill the frame with a subject that's about 13cm long. A true macro lens will fill the frame with a subject that's 3.6 cm long
HTH
A true macro lens will allow 1:1 reproduction. Your 24-70 will not.
if your chosen subjects are not small enough to require 1:1 then there is not much to be gained by using a macro lens - except the advantages outlined by droj above.
if you want to photograph ladybirds, ants, flies etc your...
Nikon lenses with a D suffix do not contain a focus motor. They need a body which contains a motor to drive them via a ‘screwdriver slot’
entry level camera bodies do not include a motor
Thank you Typhoon7.
At last - someone willing to believe Daniel ShenSmith CeMAP, LLB (Hons), LLM, MSoM (Black Belt Barrister). What could he possibly know about law? He explained in detail, with case histories, why St Pancras station is a Public Place. Not good enough for the barrack-room...
