Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 43 users at B&H Photo Video

"The lens is an absolutely superb macro lens, razor-sharp, excellent contrast, no CA, a nice, very functional tripod collar that is easily adjusted or removed. Build quality is excellent too. The lens has a very sturdy feel to it, really feels like a piece of professional equipment."

"This is an impressive lens with no obvious cons. The build quality is excellent and image quality and resolution at a variety of distances and macro are at least as good (to my eyes) as Nikon glass. The bokeh is also good especially for a zoom lens."

"It is a heavy lens, but that's the price paid for getting this level of quality."
