comment: | I love this lens - macro photography opens up a whole new world of possibilities. This lens has beautiful bokeh with brilliant color and contrast. The manual focus ring is fine but it would be even better with a bit of dampening. The only negatives for me are the flimsy hood and the deep recessed front element that is hard to get at too clean. I got this lens used thanks to forum member "Entropy", who's review is also below. |
