I don't have a  macro to compare it to, but the K105/2.8 handles well, and is a nice 
focal length to work with, and is indeed sharp.  

Bokeh can be pretty gruesome though, especially with any kind of  out of focus 
specular highlights.  More than any other lens I own (or have owned) I have to be 
careful of how I choose to use it, or it's pretty nigh useless.  

Closer to infinity or with a very subdued background it's nice enough to use however.
