I have the DA 35 macro.
It's sharp. It's well built. It's pretty. I don't use it much.
I do wish it had a little more reach. I find that getting the object
big enough in the viewfinder means I've got to get *really* close.
Not so great for spiders. Doing "human zoom" with this lens, I
actually walked it right into the moss on the tree...

That 'really close' thing is also an issue with using the ring flash. I
got the AF-160 to use with the 35 and I've had situations where the
object was actually inside the ring-flash's mount. I solved that by
putting a sheet of white paper beyond the subject where the flash would
bounce off it. That happened in this shot ...

So yeah, mostly useless for bugs. Live or undrugged ones anyway.
