This is a lens designed for press photography. It's coverage is somewhat limited and I think you'll find corner sharpness less than impressive. It's not an awful lens, though. Many I know started out with one including me! I liked it's compact size. It allowed me to keep the lens mounted on my horseman 45FA when folded. If good coverage, sharpness and low distortion is what you're after you might search for a used Nikor-W f5.6 135mm. I picked mine up for around $350 in mint condition! Best of Luck
