The photos are nice and sharp, but the autofocus is super slow and finicky.

Nice lens for the price. Other reviews of slow and noisy autofocus are correct, but if you are using this for macro imagery of still objects you are probably using manual focus anyway. Nice sharp images with minimal aberrations. See uploaded 8 layer stacked focus image. Working focal length is great for keeping your shadow out of the image, even on 1:1 shots.

The quality of the pictures is very good. But the focus is noisy and slow. It really depends on how you use it.

Its a great lens! I was surprised with the first portrait pictures I took with it. It has a little bit of a struggle focusing on dogs and cats. But I love it anyways.

Pros: Good price. Very reasonable weight. Reasonable sharpness when doing macro shots. Cons: VERY noisy focus motor. Wouldn't lock focus properly (not sure if it was just my copy or not). Not even as sharp as the Sony 85mm f/1.8 when doing non-macro shots. No Autofocus/Manual Focus switch or clutch. In summary, having tested this lens and found it lacking for my intended purposes, I will be saving my money for the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro (despite being about twice the price).

This lens looks and feels nice, but unfortunately it has a hard time focusing and it's noisy. If you are looking for a quiet lens, this is not it. The focus motor noise is really noticeable, especially when the lens detracts to 1:1 ratio and retracts. I used this lens on my A7III and the A6000. On the A6000, the lens was even worse at focusing. If you don't mind the noise, the lens is light, felt just right on both camera bodies and has a great price.
