I use Pentax DA 35 Macro as normal lens, and have a feeling that at near it is sharper than at infinity (but still very good). Haven't seen any objective test to confirm that. Bokeh is different and better at near. Focus throw is longer and if AF starts to hunt, it takes a while(but if there is focus limiter this might not be an issue). Manual adjusting is bit difficult, as longest throw is for near. Obviously, it looses primes advantage of speed. On the other hand it is quite handy to have macro for such lens, and overall I use it most of the time (for daylightSmile).

It is not about the lens you are asking, but I guess macros should behave similarly.
