This is the third Macro lens I've shot with and it'll likely be the last. It's just that good. I'm still learning the lens and am in the honeymoon phase, but I'm entirely smitten with this thing. Sharp at any aperture, my early experience tells me that 7.1 and above is where it's at its best. It's built like a tank with a metal crinkle coated body and integral tripod mount that rotates 360'. Ergonomics couldn't be any better.
This lens was released in 1993 and some say it's overdue for an update. I think the reason its been around for 22 years without needing an update is because it's so great at what it does. The only update I think it could use is maybe add the Silent Wave Motor; if by doing so it speeds up the auto-focus and makes it quieter without sacrificing its already superb accuracy. The current Auto-focus is very accurate but it's loud by today's standards and although it's fast, it doesn't feel like it's instantaneous like some of the newer lenses do. This is more of a nice to have feature as I've rarely even had the auto-focus turned on. The manual focus is so smooth and easy to nail dead on with the focus ring covering over a third of the lens. Auto-focus might come in handy for fast moving subjects where manually acquiring focus might cause you to miss a fleeting moment.
Here are a few photos taken with the lens. The butterfly photo is cropped quite a bit, taken at F/10.0, 1/320 shutter speed at ISO 160. The raspberry is an untouched JPEG right out of the camera taken at f/4.8, 1/50 shutter speed at ISO 560. With the raspberry photo I used 68mm of Kenko extension tubes. The bee was taken at f/4.8, 1/200 shutter speed at ISO 400 and was focused via the lens auto-focus system and handheld; this was one of just two attempts.

I used to shoot Canon (back in the 60's and 70's) and Minolta (in the 80's and 90's) and of all the many lenses I've used, this is the sharpest from edge to edge by a good margin. Seems to be tack sharp even in the corners wide open. Very promising.
Looking forward to spring and summer when I will get much more chance to use this baby.
It's long and heavy. I was unable to take a sharp photo shooting offhand, so I'll be using a tripod with this lens from now on. The tripod mount is sturdy; I had no problem using it with a Manfrotto quick release plate. Auto focus is noisy and not as fast as AF on my newer zoom lens. It's especially slow when changing from close to far and vice versa - it seems to rack all the way in (or out), then all the way back to the correct focus. This takes a couple of seconds, which seems like a long time when you're accustomed to more modern lenses. However, once it's got the range small focus adjustments are reasonably fast and accurate. Manual focus is not a problem.
I intend using this mainly as a macro lens, both in the field and in the workshop. I'l update this review after I've used it this way for a while.

I will use the lens in the field and update this review if I find anything good or bad.
Update: I am so happy that I decided to buy this lens, as above the results it produces are outstanding, I have the Nikkor 105mm f2.8 which is also brilliant, this lens gives me more distance between me and the insect. I can say that it is difficult to hand hold when mounted with the flash guns, purely down to weight whilst trying to gain focus within .5 mm, I use it with my monopod. I have attached a couple of recent images so you can see the quality it produces.
