Closest focus
is 14cm from outermost edge of the lens, F 8. Focus on the program wheel of the camera.

This is very nice lens, even wide open. Look at the image results and you know why prices have gone up for this partiular lens.
It has good capabilities of close focussing for such a wide lens. Carefully aligned there is nearly no distortion.
