75-300mm telephotos are somewhat large. My Canon one is manageable however, but the Nikkor equivalent seems to be much bulkier.

As for macro, if you really want to get into macro shots, then a dedicated lens is a good idea. One with a 1:1 magnification ratio. That means the image in the photo is the size of real life, or something like that.
Telephotos at the long end of the zoom (my 75-300mm for instance) are also good for close-up photography. I don't know if it's considered macro, but for getting shots of animals/nature/whatever you can keep your distance, while getting a very close shot with a lot of depth of field. A tripod is essentially necessary for stillness at the long end of the zoom though.
Also you can take shots like this:
