Compact lens, lightweight and great quality.

John Lewis matched the price I found somewhere else and was ready to coll ct the next day, couple this with a two year guarantee and it was a no brainier. The lens feels solid and well built, the results are superb, you need to remember though that when photographing at close differences the...

Fantastic special-use lens for serious amateur photographers.

quality..; of construction, of optics; Simply outstanding

Doesn't work with all Canon models

This lens is awesome, the clarity is amazing. If you are looking for a good Macro lens this is it. I really love that you can use it for other things as well as Macro. Love this lens

Clarity; versitality and price

Great combo macro / portrait lens. Stop it down just a little and it's a gem. Several of the images I made with this lens have been made into popular landscape prints, posters, canvases. I'll get a surprise when I'm in a strange place walking down a hallway and see one of my images.

I bought this lens as a "Photography pack, it came with a canon camera remote and a lens cleaning pen.. I use it often amazing results, clarity is excellent, smooth noiseless auto focus.. you could just about catch a bacteria on a gnats bum with this beauty..
