from eBay Summary: I have only had this lens for a little while, but I am quite satisfied thus far. It is a very nice lens, good quality, but not the best as far as I see. It really is a mult-purpose lens, in that it can be used for macro, portrait and landscape, though it is best for macro. The 1:1 ratio is very nice and I like the ablitily to be farther away than when using a lens of a smaller focal length. One thing that I confirmed that I read in another review is a hazey/milky affect when photographing against a bright sky with my F100. Not sure why this is, but it doesn't show on the images. Another problem is the lens has a hard time focusing in low light, more so with closer object than those that are further away. Go figure, you probably want to us Manual Focus when doing macro work anyway. I know that metal is not always better than plastic, but I sure do like the feel and am a bit disappointed, especially taking into account the expense of the lens. Strengths: 105mm!
