Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 8 users at B&H Photo Video

"I love this lens, when photographing products at a low angle I have the depth of field I need with the movement of the lens."

"Sharp, fast, easy to use, unparalleled perspective control for DSLR photography."

"To me, this is a specialty lens that you shouldn't get unless you have either disposable income, or a very specific need like product photography, landscape work, or the need to make things in the distance look tiny. It is very hard to use and a heavy lens."
