Yes, I have one too. It's always in the bag and not on the camera since
the 14-150 is always there instead. I think I've only taken 2 shots
with it. I should give it some fresh air and sunshine and give it a
little exercise as a walk-around lens and a little DOF test. DPR
comments that the hyperfocal shooting setting gives DOF from 1.5 meters
on. I suspect that they've made an error and that the 1.5 meters is
actually the hyperfocal distance. That would mean the DOF goes from
0.75 meters to infinity. Even that assumes a pretty stringent
definition for the Circle of Confusion. If not making giant prints DOF
may appear even better than that.
