Anyone else have this lens? Anyone have anything negative to say about it? I have it and haven't really had any issues other some slow focusing sometimes with hard to lock on, but I'm sure that is more user error than anything! I'm trying to get better at macro photography, but I'm still learning! Anyone have any tips on using this lens?

I have this lens and love it. You can see many samples of images made with it in my Gallery.
The best tip I can offer is to use it in manual focus mode. I find it much easier to focus manually and move in/out to get the focus correct. Specially when bugs are concerned. Use the continuous mode to shoot many images while doing so and then select the one where the focus is where you want. There are always many rejects when doing macro. Don't worry and shoot, practice makes perfect.
