Lovely macro :-)
Real pleasure to use.. I found the photos sharp... When using macro it's better to use manual focus, so can't comment on the af motor... Would also recommend a tripod as even the slightest movement and your in trouble... If you want it cause you want a 50mm lens then go for canon ...
Pros:
- Macro
- Well made - solid
Cons:
- Price
