You will find an article on it on my web page (along with
additional comments by James MacDonald) under "I babble".
In short, if you are using a tripod, shooting flower-sized
fields, and like short macro lenses (the FL reduces
greatly with close-focus, with interesting by-products),
it is a good lens.
Hope This Helps
