Review 2 of 2

Price Paid: $105.00

Summary:

Sharp Len compare to the 100mm macro 2.8. Still yet to try Macro 50mm 2.8 model. I could not resist on this price even I have a 50mm 1.4 Great for some closeup, like objects & flowers. Not so good for insect of such. You will be too close buy the 100mm macro. Color is very natural. In fact I use this often for people shots. Because it has shallow DOF. I could see where the focus end than guessing with aperature!

Strengths:

Sharpness & color. Could view DOF instantly without activating DOF feature.

Weaknesses:

Too short for insect or living things. Have to move too close to them & sometime my shadow gets in.

100mm macro

Customer Service:

None needed
