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

"The best lens I've ever used. It's optical performance is overwhelming - aberrations are extremely well corrected, extremely sharp across the frame at all apertures with no distortion whatsoever."

"This 100mm exceeded all my expectations. Its so sharp, has magical colour rendering and that much talked about 3-D rendering quality people talk about."

"The downside: annoyingly hard to put on and take off the lens cap when the shade is on, which is also a bit hard to handle. Lack of IS and manual focus make macro work difficult without a tripod. "
