comment:	It's fine lens. I get it for a very low prize, so had low expectations. Sharpness is nothin special, colors are fine. Only contrast kind of sucks, so without proper light this lens produce very flat images. And of course it needs at least 1,5m to focus, which eliminate it from being good portate lens. Anyway the macro mode is great. But overall it's nothin special, especially when it comes to optic.
