very sharp starting at f2.5, excellent bokeh, great colour and contrast
CA, flare resistance

Excellent 1:2 macro lens. I love the rendering on both Sony mirrorless and on film (Canon AE-1). Works well as a short telephoto lens as well. You can see my review of the lens by following the link below:

sharpest lens I own, outstanding color and contrast
build quality a little behind canon

Super and useful lens. Best macro I have used. Got mine on ebay for $20 as part of a broken pentax camera and will never part with it. It is my favorite lens and it produces stunning photos. Too sharp for portraits. Some flare in sunlight. Love this lens.

sharp lens, compact, f2.5 max aperture, good deep lens hood
1:2 magnification (maybe a negative for some)

I shoot a lot of closeup photography, and this lens has hardly been off my camera since I got it a couple of years ago. Very sharp, especially f5.6-11, the f2.5 max aperture gives a bright viewfinder image and shallow DOF if required. Because the lens only extends to 1:2 magnification it´s compact size makes it easier to keep the lens stable. A 1:1 matched extender was sold with it I believe, but I don´t have (or need) one. I bought a rather battered and well used lens, so I´m not sure about the original build quality. My 7.0 build rating may be conservative....

As sharp as a macro lens should be.
Build quality not so good.

Combines very good sharpness with a beautiful bokeh, which is rarely found in macro lenses. I´ve used it without the extender mostly. Lens hood click-on style and sufficiently long.
Build quality average at the most.
