Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 3 users at B&H Photo Video

"Works great, VERY sharp. Love the extra distance it gives me on my Sony DSLR's I use it on both A200 and A850."

"The best macro lens on the market right now."

"Just a comment: the front element (glass) is very close to the edge of the lens, as opposed to the other three 1:1 macro lenses I own that have a recessed front edge. This leaves the front glass quite exposed to damage."
