I'm pleased with the new macro. Here are the quick and dirty test shots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157619628642568/
The diner shot was taken with the 28/2.8, it was just a random act of aim the camera at something, focus, set the exposure and see if something recognizable comes out. When I was going through my pictures I was rather startled to find that I actually rather like the shot. I'd like it better without the bag in the foreground, but what the heck: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3619061934/in/set-72157619628642568/ Here's one of a friend's sculpture with the macro at about f/5.6 http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3618244237/in/set-72157619628642568/ Unfortunately, the 28 is a bit wonky. The focus scale slips, and the focusing ring will bind up. Too bad, because optically it's a pretty nice lens, especially "for free". With the 31/1.8, I don't really need a 28/2.8 though, so I doubt I'll spend any money to get it fixed. It might be handy, however to use with my SRT-101. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
