Closest focus is only 8cm from outermost edge of the lens, F 8. Focus on the program wheel of the camera.

This is a very unusual lens. I had it in stock, it escaped going with the lot when I gave my Exaktas and Bessamatics away. The glass sits deep inside (no shade necessary) and it's a real good macro lens. On my A7 it focusses from infinity down to about 8cm from the filter thread. Picture quality is fine wide open, there is a bit of softness in the edges. My lens has some scratches, so maybe it would be even better without. It's good stopped down. A very nice finding.
