Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 9 users at B&H Photo Video

"It is light weight, very smooth, very sharp images"

"I bought this in conjunction with the 160fc ringflash, perfect match for this lens.. Aside from being exellent at macro, I found this lens to be stuningly vibrant and contrasty for normal shooting.."

"Being a macro lens means that unless you pre-focus manually, it can take a *very* long time to focus. I have found that it also will hunt a bit in low light"
