Before I purchased this lens, I was toying with the idea that perhaps I could continue simply to use my 80-200mm lens with extension tubes for my macro photography. However, I decided to go for it and buy the lens.<br /><br />I am so glad I did.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Lightweight
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
