It was originally designed for medical work. It is a real macro zoom, with
flatfield reproduction all through the zoom range. A great lens, but if you
do not need the macro feature, other zooms are more flexible.
Sincerely,

What is a 'flat field' zoom? What would it be used for, other than general
photography. It looks very long in the photo...
