This is another example from Amason deceptive advertising!This lense street price is $400. Why it is on Warehouse Deals with 38% when they try to sell it for $399?

I just got this lens and I’m in the learning process of the use.
I know I’ll love it.
Some of the picture I took are very clean e sharp.

I love macro photography and this is the only lens I can actually use up close without it blurring so right there that is essential. The quality on the other hand, isn’t the best in my opinion.. I don’t know what it is but I have alot of trouble getting a good crisp image compared to my 2 other lenses. You can view my skull image submissions to see what I’m dealing with. Again, this COULD be me.. Sometimes I do have regrets spending so much money, I don’t think it’s worth the price.. There are some amazing lenses for 400.00 these days and this is not one of them.
Decent lens, not awful, not great.

I like the lens but am disappointed in its responsiveness. Since the focus range is so great, you really have to prefocus if you want any kind of focusing speed. The ability to manually focus while using auto focus is a nice feature. Prior to this I had been using some expensive close up filters with the standard Rebel XTi zoom lens and getting good results. I haven’t done a side by side comparison which would tell me more once I uploaded it into my photo program and had a chance to magnify the image. I suspect I would find the edges sharper with the Macro. Still, if I could do it over again, I would opt out of this purchase.
