"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."
"If you want the best possible lens at this focal length then this is the best money can buy. I think from a value perspective this lens with the various tele-converters give you the most coverage and value for the money. I do also shoot a 70-200mm f/2.8 with and without the tele-converters with very good results, however the sharpness with this lens as expected is beyond comparison."
