It is not a macro lens, so wont be as good for it.
I like it, though I don't use it very often. I usually take Sigma (for macro) for walks. But it is a cool lens.
I show tons of sunsets with it.. it is really good for it when the sun is really low.

And this was shot with it too at 300mm:

Haha we all were. I still am :)
