Hi Mike,
I have one that I use with a zoom to photograph wildflowers and find
that I use it more than my dedicated macro lenses. The image quality
is sufficient for my needs and using a zoom makes composing the shot
a bit easier than always needing to move the tripod. Here's a web
sized sample shot:
