Closest focus is only 15cm from outermost edge of the lens, F 8. Focus on the program wheel of the camera.

A nice lens, wide open it's a bit soft and there are slightly visible shades on the upper corners. Stopped down it's good, but there is some colour cast. It has good capabilities of close focussing.
