I think 156 euros is a very good price, congratulations ! I bought
mine 210 euros. Considering its qualities, this lens worth a lot more
IMO. It is wonderful as a normal lens too.

I think it's too much. You can usually find the M 50/4 macro for less than a
hundred dollars. To my mind, a wide aperture is not necessary on a macro. It
makes focusing a bit easier, but with the limited DOF you get when shooting
macro, wide open is rarely an option.

Anybody got any comments on this lens?
I think that $300 USD is a bit steep, perhaps unless it is brand new.
However, the F 50/2.8 Macro (or the optically identical FA version) is
bitingly sharp - it's really an incredibly sharp lens.

True but if you don't need the extra speed and you don't want to carry an
extra lens then the 50mm macro gives you awesome performance plus macro
