Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 4 users at B&H Photo Video

"I had this lens for about 2 weeks now and it has been fabulous."

"Great for taking macro shots of insects and small objects, nice working distance when taking pictures of camera shy subjects (insects, birds, etc.)."

"It's a little heavy so I use it with a monopod most of the time..."
