I was lucky to get this lense for a good prize and during the last days i used it on a Sony A57. If you like to take pictures auf flowers and insects this lense is your choice and also if you need a short and fast tele.

i own a copy of this lens -- found it in a local camera shop's "junk" bin, believe it or don't. They obviously thought it was just another "ho-hum" 135mm. Fortunately, it was in excellent condition, and even in Nikon mount! I'd never heard of this lens before, but as I was toying around with it, I noticed how far the barrel extended as I continued to rotate the focusing collar, and it was then that I realized it just might be something special. So I bought it -- for $5.
Great pics! Nice to see the capabilities of this lens -- I've only done a few flower shots with mine so far. Like these:
