This lens is quite good. Better then average YS lens. It's very usable wide open, nice bokeh, CA controlled very well. Attention: YS lenses should be left standing on mount and not the other way around. Or grease from focusing helicoid will reach aperture blades. Verified (i had to re-clean). As you can see bellow we have moved from -10 to nearly +20 here in SLO.

Not bad at all, better than I would expect from a Sigma. Send some of your Slovenian weather to England and hurry up please!

Looks much better than my Sigma macro 200/3.5.

Yes, this one has no macro (system focusing) function. It has 5 elements, 3 in front, 2 in back.
Here some more and comparison wide-open, closed a bit - last four photos. Tough light.

Except the bokeh which looks a little harsh to me it seems to be a very lens. Congrats.
But I would prefer your weather over your lens 
Can you post a pic of the lens, please?
