A macro for 1/4 the cost of a macro
I got this lens to work with my Sony A700 and Tamron 70-200 2.8 zoom. That lens already has Macro capability but only 1:3. This lens brings it to about 1:1.
I haven't done any scientific tests with it, but with some casual shooting it has preformed great. The tough thing with macro is always that the depth of field is short. Once you learn how to focus and even bracket your focusing things work out much better.

Bottom line, I'm glad I got it.

Great for Macro
This turned my 70-200 into a superlative macro lens on par with a dedicated macro.

Excellent, inexpensive choice vs. macro lens
Takes really good close-ups. Not really a substitute for true macro but, for other than hard core macro shooters, it's close enough; light, inexpensive and very sharp! Use it with a Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 and it does very well.
