I love this lens! I bought it because I wanted to do some time lapse flower photography and needed a macro lens with a faster aperture than the original zoom lens that came with my alpha 500 DSLR. I got it at well below list price on eBay and have used it constantly since it arrived. I checked out online reviews before buying it, including lens test charts etc. and found them true to the lens. It is faster and lighter than the original zoom lens and although aimed at macro photography it is very usable as a fasy standard lens. It does have slight distortion when used as a standard lens and the auto focus works best at close focus, I tend to use manual focus a lot so this does not bother me.
I bought this after trying macro diopter filters and was disappointed with some of the results. Very glad I bought this. The initial results have been simply brilliant. Minimum focus is about 1.5cm from the front of the lens. I use this on a Nex 5 with the E to A adapter which makes the auto focus very slow but the manual focus is very easy to work with.
Its ok but it is an older lens and there are better ones out there
