Thank you for this review. I have waited for it for the longest time, not that I needed it. I have it after What Digital Camera stated that it is even sharper than the DFA 100 macro, which at that time I have already owned.
The only disappointment is the AF accuracy at distance above 10M or so. I have to snap a couple of times with refocusing just to make sure I have one sharp image. Strangely this is less of a problem at macro range. I know people will tell me this IS a macro lens and should be used as such but I do not have the luxury to own both the DA* 55 and this lens.
The DFA 100 on the other hand has no such focusing problem, so you can't say that this is a common trail for macro lenses.
