Words cannot express how much I love this lens Words cannot express how much I love this lens. My first love is macro photography and this lens gets you right in close to the subject matter. Joined with an extension tube and this lens is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!!! Not only is it great at macros but it makes a wonderful portrait lens.
Scary Sharp I sell quite a few antique watches on eBay. In order to demonstrate the quality of my offerings to potential buyers, I use this lens for all macro (Nikon calls it Micro) photography. The results are superb. Actually, they are too superb: After I complete a photograph, I “blow it up” to check for focus (etc.). While doing this, I frequently find defects that are not obvious to the naked eye – even with a 5x magnifier! So, I then have to go back to the item and either clean off…
LOVE!!! I am in LOVE with this lens. I bought it back in January so I would have time to practice some before Spring arrived. I had read all the reviews here and a lot of people said it was too heavy. I figured “how heavy can it be?” Well it is quite heavy. The first time I went walking around with it, my wrists hurt before it was over. However, I do have Carpal Tunnel (or arthritis) in my hands so that didn’t help. I have since become used to the weight though and it doesn’t bother me a bit…
