No I don't but I've heard nothing but great things about it. And as for the focusing distance, if it's the Macro you're looking at, then yes, it is. Macro doesn't mean close focusing, it means a 1:1 or greater magnification ratio. Wider Macro lenses will have closer min. focusing distance than longer ones, but still be Macro. My Sigma 70-300 Macro Super has Macro capability between 200-300mm, and the macro focusing range is 0.95m-1.5m
