Of course not. It's a paperweight.

I took mine out last weekend, it was pretty good for closeup pics. just a few minor issue, like poor coating and soft at f2.5. but since i use it at sunny outdoor,it was usable at f4-f8, and has nice bohek. result was pretty good for this lens. but compare to the sharper lens like my 100mm f2.8, I can see the difference on color and sharpness. Also the 135mm length is great for closeup or macro picture on flowers or portrait.
