I bought this for my Sony Alpha 200 after doing alot of research and finding that for the money this lens is best in it's particular class, and I was not disappointed. For taking nature shots of insects and flowers, this lens rocks, gets super close, has a buttery bokeh, it's a fairly fast lens as well. I haven't tried any portraits but this thing will probably do those great too. The only drawback I can think of is it is noisy so if you are trying to sneak up on wildlife, this lens will give you away, heh. Other than that, definitely worth the purchase.
Lens takes high quality images in many conditions. It's become my daily carry. Minor autofocus issues where the lens will try and track to macro at distance shots. Still recommended.

If you are looking for a lens for good close up photography, this one is great. A little loud, but who cares...... I take photos in my reef tanks and they are coming out awesome with little to no changes to the camera settings.
Very nice lens. Photos are tack sharp. It is an older version lens that works great with my Sony cameras. Colors and contrast are also great. It is an awesome lens for the price, incredible bang for the buck.
It is a very good lens. 1:1 macro is sharp and you do not have to be on top of the subject.
