Closest focus (F8) is less than 25cm from outermost edge of the lens. Focus on the top of the camera.

As this lens does not cover full format (unless you want a Lomo style heavy vignetting), you have to set your camera to crop mode. Wide open it is already very nice. It's a small and lightweight lens, the 35mm in crop mode brings it to a moderate wide angle lens. And it's a nice lens for the APS-C series cameras, like the A5000/6000.
