Although it’s suppose to perform as a general lens as well as a macro, I never felt comfortable using it in that way.
Your comment about not getting sharpness at infinity reminded me that I too felt the lens didn’t deliver in that situation.
I found I was shifting to other lenses covering 100mm for my “peace of mind”.
It did perform well as a macro lens, allowing some distance between skitty bugs this was even using f16!!!…..

But then again this was with a 200-600mm zoom + 1.4teleconverter = 840mm handheld (too lazy to change lense)….

So you have to question whether you NEED a dedicated macro lens ….thats why I don’t have one any more!
