Closest focus is 130cm (!) from outermost edge of the lens, F 8. Focus on the program wheel of the camera.

This is a low quality lightweight and compact tele lens. Nevertheless it surprised me by good picture quality. Even wide open it's o.k., stopped down it's fine. Aperture works with my adapters, autofocus is slow and sometimes misses it, as with nearly all adapted lenses. It has some close focussing capabilities, a bit difficult to manage. As an easy to carry in-case-of tele lens, it's fine, but not more. There is no focussing ring, you simply have to turn the upper part of the lens tube, a bit weird, but works nicely.
