It is very field hardy, focuses pretty well (for a macro lens) and is easy to manual focus.
It is my primary lens (along with my 300 f/4). I shoot thousands of photos every year with this lens and I can always count on getting excellent results.
If I lost mine, and even if funds were unlimited, I would still buy this lens over the Sony/Minolta equivalent. I would do the same if I was a Canon or Nikon person, as well.
