Great lens. Good value for money

This lens has opened a new world for me in miniature. I never realised how many bugs and even plantsthere are just in my own back yard to experiment with before going into the outside world. It's so much fun. The lens is fast sharp and easy to get used to.

  • Super-sharp images
