Sharper than the proverbial razor, the images this lens produces will please ( and shock ) even the most discriminating photographer. There is even room for a tripod support ring, if wanted, to ensure those engaging in 1:1 image reproduction maintain the sharpness this lens is capable. If one wants to handhold and forego a tripod, the built-in IS works VERY well. One thing included in this lens design is weather sealing, which, in MHO, is more desirous than image stabilization. When using this lens in a tropical location, temperate rainforest, or even a shore setting, this latter feature is of utmost importance. Simply add a UV filter to the front element and you are ready to go in less than perfect conditions. Due to these features and it inherit sharpness, this lens is the ' Ayatollah of Rock n' Rolla '. Easily a solid ' 10 ', or 5 out of 5 stars. Read full review

Excellent lens..no complaints. The manual focus operation is best for extreme closeups. Automatic focus shifts in and out of focus with the inevitable minute movement of the camera or the subject. With patience and a careful eye there are many more opportunities for interesting pictures not available to the photographer with a standard lens. This lens produced more results than I was expecting.

Pros: Super sharp Macro lens! Awesome image quality! Amazing bokeh! Very lightweight! (Minor) Cons: AF has 3 distance modes which can be cumbersome at times. AF at short focal distances tends to "wander" when not using a tripod (but this is common with this type of lens.)

The lens gives a nice sharp image and the fact that is a fast lens makes it easy to photograph close up in lower light conditions. The focus is fast and very quiet. I would definitely recommend this lens!

This L lens is highly underrated. I think it's a must have and is an extremely useful lens. The focal length and close focusing distance is great for portraits and the image stabilization is top notch allowing you to photograph still subjects at 1/10 of a second.
