As you can see, it's not unusable by any stretch, and this is my very first attempt to use it for anything like this, really, so it could get better with a little refinement of focus and aperture selection, as well as more work to remove the source of that flare.
For scanning slides I may even prefer it, as the lower contrast may help to preserve the highlights.
This is a shot taken WITH the lense, as opposed to scanned with it.
