I just never used it, you had to get EXTREMELY close to the subject with it, and that focal length to me, is awkward. Not mentioning it's not a fixed 2.8 aperture. It changes depending on distance from the subject. Which, if you're trying to use it as a normal prime, is annoying as all get out! The 35 is MUCH more versatile, if worse off in bokeh and distortion. It's still one of my favorites on DX even with it's flaws.My advice would be to get a 50 1.8G for product shots (the better handled bokeh, distortion, constant aperture, better working distance make me say that), and a 105 to cover your macro needs.</blockquote>
