"After much research I decided to get this lens over the Canon 100 and even the 180 macros. This lens is just amazingly sharp and the color/contrast is amazing. I could not be happier! Contrary to other reviews stating the focus is slow, this thing focuses super fast. It's a macro, it helps to pr …"  Read Full Review »

"Great pictures and great results - only issue is that it will 'search' at times for a focus. It is usually on a white background. Other than that, I am impressed with images. "

"My first photos with this lens was not macro, but a live indoor stage production event!
