When you get a macro lens for non-macro work, you need to use the limiter so it doesn't search the whole range of the lens for a focus point. So a little more complicated than it needs to be, apart from that it's fine.
A couple of landscapes...
We did a comparison of our lenses that do 90mm once and it was the winner over the DA*60-250 at 90mm, based on equal resolution, but slightly better micro-contrast...
And it's not bad for large animals, the guy I bought mine from used it for bears, although, I tend to like 400mm for bears myself.

Thanks Racer
Quote: The big issue I had with it is the focus hunting.... it would constantly rack in and out trying to figure things out, even when doing non-macro work.
On the K-3 it's a dream, that issue is completely gone, the speed of AF on the K-3 is remarkable, on a K-5IIs, I don't know what it would be like.
