Minimum focus distance is around 20 inches, which might not work for you it this situation. Otherwise, a lens I enjoy. Seems to render a high percentage of keepers. (Maybe it just sees things the way I see them.)

Thanks.  I've read good things about that lens. I have a 43/1.9 for my Pentax, fast focusing and excellent image quality. However minimum focus distance is about 18 inches and so it doesn't always work well for taking photos of my  birds.

Not using my Pentax as much as I should because it's a lot heavier and bulkier than my GX7.
