Review 1 of 2

Price Paid: $1349.00 from B&H

Summary:

Absolutely stunning results with this lens! Results are so clear, sharp and vivid they're easily the best work I've ever produced. I'm so enamored with this lens that my 100mm f2.8 D macro never gets out of the bag anymore.

Strengths:

Sturdy build. Great working distance. Can be hand held. Terrific results.

Weaknesses:

None

Similar Products Used:

Minolta 50mm f2.8 macro. Minolta 100 f2.8 D macro.

Customer Service:

Havn't needed.

Customer Service:

No.
