Photography Question

sigma 105 mm 2.8 EX macro lens


hi there
in my last discussion about closeup photography I had asked what kind of camera lens should I buy. now since I am reading about it I have a Q which will sound like coming from a dummy, which I dont disagree as I am a newbie. the Q is: The Sigma 105 mm f/2.8 EX macro lens appears to be a lens with a fixed focal length. (Please correct mw where I am wrong.)this lens was recommended by one of the readers of this website. if I am doing a close up shot I can move the barrel of the lens, so I assume that the camera has to move close or away depending how close is to be acheived. the oither lens I have is a 28-80 mm standard lens. do u think that the fixed lens would be good enough for all close up situations? please guide me through.
thanks
manish
