Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 13 users at B&H Photo Video

"New to macro photography but this lens is great for it. Awesome clarity and great color contrast. "

"Used this lens for just about everything. Mostly for macro work from a distance ( including with a 2X teleconverter). Really sharp, and not heavy compared to similar length prime lenses. "

"If you use AF more will get disappointed."
