105mm, closest focus is 55cm from outermost edge of the lens, F 8. Focus on the program wheel of the camera.

This is an old lens design, inexpensive today and still an alternative to more expensive ones. Wide open it's a bit soft at the edges and there are shades on the upper edges at 28mm, otherwise image quality is just fine. It has very good close focus capability due to a close focus setting.
