Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $139.00 from adorama

Summary:

This is The Nr One Of Photoheaven !;The review i wrote earlier does definitely need a serious follow up; people keep asking me howcome i got some very unatural sharp pictures again and again! in fact i almost do not need to make correction in PS at all ! crazy. Furthermore i also have the Canon 135 F2,0 as well and this little jewel exceed it!! ?? what the F..is happening? ( see also the vivitar reviews about this lens =its the same product) Ok i does not got USM ,but its still quit fast and besides that i go manual and got all the pics i need ! d*** it goes soo close so i dont need to walk backwards or onwards,all time ..yummi*!! i mean the colour is super,its horrifying shaarp,detailed and well corrected,i mean why has the photoindustry overseen this gem ?? why? and it is still HQ made in Japan and still ticking and ticking every day and very tough as i use it for general PJ jobs!its has overdone my expectations several times. Do i need to say BUY IT again??

Strengths:

far too many..price..light...tough--,,cheap-and a super product made in japan for no money! yummi- buy this version and you will get a super macro lens as an extra beneficio as well.!

Weaknesses:

i does not stand canon or nikon or sigma or even tamron or ..on it?!!

Similar Products Used:

many from above companies ;; But this Phoenix/ vivitar is the worlds best 100 mm macro!

Customer Service:

nope..its tough
