Simply Amazing

Thought I'd test this as a walk around lens for a car event I had to shoot. My main camera was set up with a tripod so I had this on my 2nd camera which is a 30D. I am completely surprised at the images I was able to capture with only using available light in the showroom. Sharp, fast, great bokeh when I wanted it and light weight. I've never used this lens before other than shooting macro shots so this was a great opportunity to try it in a walk around shooting fashion. I will definitely be using this more, just wish it was compatible with my 5D Mark II.
Pros: Super-sharp images
I would recommend this to a friend!

I LOVE this lens

Purchased mainly for indoor portraits and secondarily for macro use, this lens has far exceeded expectations and become my favorite and most use lens. Fast enough for most uses, good focal length on a 1.6 crop camera, wonderful background blur, and incredible macro abilities.
The only thing less than ideal for me is how close you need to get when shooting 1:1 macro. More space would be nice, and other lenses allow that, if that is your primary use.
I cannot imagine a more versitile prime lens. My zooms stay in the bag.

Pros: Super-sharp images, extrem close ups

Really like it.

This is my first macro lens. It's my first experience with macro. I'm teaching myself to use it. I really like the lens. I've gotten some great pictures. I use it with my Canon Digital Rebel XTi. It definitely has taken some getting used to as it does not zoom like the standard lens that came with the camera. What you would normally use as the zoom is actually the focusing ring. Once I got used to that, it was pretty easy to use. It takes amazing detail shot, as long as you get the subect to hold still long enough.
Pros: Super-sharp images

Very good portrait lens

We bought this lens to use as macro lens and the lens performs really well as far as sharp images are concerned. Auto focus is decent. I wouldn't use this lens on moving objects since AF isn't as fast.
Aside from the AF not being very fast, the picture quality is excellent.
Pros: Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Cons: decent auto-focus
I would recommend this to a friend!

This IS the sharpest lens I currently own. I took some portraits of the grandkids last year with this and was just blown away by the sharpness of the images.
Our granddaughter has very fine hair and this lens imaged it perfectly. It gives me a lot of confidence that it won't let me down. As long as my skills are up to par, the lens will produce, produce and produce. The only drawback is that my wife doesn't like me to use this lens to take pictures of her - shows too much detail.....LOL !
One of these days I'll also get the 100mm f/2.8 macro.
