Instant Love
I've been a a photographer for 9 years so far, and I really loved my 50mm I owned. I didn't think any lens would out-do that lens. I was wrong. I bought this micro lens as my first micro lens to just play around with and do some fun macro work away from my business photography.

Great Macro Lens
Great macro lense. I use it on a Nikon D7000. It performs at a premium level and for the price you can't beat it. This lens also has metal mounting, instead of plastic, so it's very durable when compared to the average kit lens that comes with most DSLR's.
Pros:
- Price and performance
Cons:
- Doesn't have image stabilization

Do yourself a favor and find an older AF-D in the 100-200mm range if you want a true macro lens.
Pros:
- Its Nikon glass so it is quality and it will AF on all camera's including the lower end models like the D40
- Small, lightweight and portable
- Good for someone who want's a normal lens comparable to the 35mm for regular shooting, and may have the need to shoot a quick flower or product like jewelery...
Cons:
- Its focal length is its greatest weakness
- No macro hobbyist would ever use anything under 100mm
- Lenses like this force you to get really close which: A: Puts you in your own shadow
- B: Scares insects away
- C: Forces you to use a ring flash or off shoe.

"Lens bought sooner because of homeshop18"
Lens is the most important part of the camera. Without which taking photos will be impossible. Proper selection of the lens is must to get extremely good results out of your efforts. Once my lens of Nikon camera got damaged, I had to replace it with a new one. And this selection was a hard one.
