Well it has a sliding focus limiter switch with positions for Macro and Normal use.

Normal - minimum focusing distance is marked on the lens barrel as 1.5m. which I would say is just about spot on.

Macro - minimum focusing distance is marked on the lens barrel as 0.48m, but I find in practise I can get a lot closer, probably under half that distance.

As long as the focus limiter switch is in the right position, AF is pretty rapid, but if it isn't the system gets VERY confused!
