I own this lens in MF, wife has AF. Comes with a decent 2 element
adapter to take it from 1/2 to lifesize. The MF feels a little
sturdier, and is slightly less expensive. I have done a few dozen
closeups (mostly floral), and find the lens a good tool for such
subjects.
However, it has either barrel or pincushion over 1 percent, according
to those who test such things.
It is also a fine portrait lens in my hands.
