"I recently purchased this lens to fill in between various others and WOW! I love this lens, great sharpness, great build as always and just super addition to the kit."

"This lens delivers high quality images even at its most extreme settings. Macro capabilities are awesome too"

"I do NOT recommend this for everybody since it is strictly a manual focus lens and have a lot of limits while shooting (not ideal for no-control situations) but perfect performer when mounted on the tripod."
