This is a great lens for a great value. I added this lens to my newly forming collection and LOVE it. Extremely crisp, clear and vibrant pictures.

This is one of the best lenses I have. No vignetting even on FF cameras. It is sharp straight from 2.8 onward, and reaches its peak at f/8. Settings above f/11 kick in some diffraction. There are no distortions or CA I can complain of. Highly recommended!

This lens is at a very good price here and the delivery that I got was very nice, It was well protected and the lens came in the best quality, I am happy with my purchase.

I AM USING THIS MACRO LENS ON A SONY NEX 7 CAMERA WITH A METABONES ADAPTER FOR MACRO AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY. I FIND THE LENS TO BE STURDY AND WELL BUILT. BOTH PORTRAIT AND MACRO PHOTOS CAME OUT IN VERY SHARP FOCUS. THE SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD FOR MACRO CAN GET VERY SENSITIVE.

Slow Focus

I never thought macro photography could be so interesting and fun. This lens has a very precise area of focus. Macro isn't all you can do with it but for amatuer or enthusiast, you can have fun all day long. Half the price of is IS model but you just need a little more patience.

The Canon Gods have finally listened: SURPRISE: the lens hood and case were included!! Superb lens for MACRO, very sharp/detailed. Some lens creep at max performance, I used AF, then MF. Great PRIME lens, versitile, easy to use.

Lens Creep

I find the lens works well even in cold weather and produces a sharp clean image. It give a greater stand off distance than the 50mm with as good results. I am currently using a 10D and have found no issues, works well with the existing flash.

I use this with my 40D (cropped sensor) and have had excellent results. Sharpness and colour are exceptional. The macro function can be difficult and takes time to learn how to use effectively due to the shallow depth of field and exaggerated camera movement.

pros: produces very sharp images and excellent color rendering cons: nothing found yet

I love this lens. Since we got it, it is almost always on my camera, It takes amazing portrait shots and sharp macro shots. Amazing. I strongly suggest that this lens be in everybody's lens kit. I would only replace it with the L series lens if I have oodles of money to spare.
