Excellent tele-macro lens This is a superb lens, with a good solid build and a smooth manual focus. Because it's made from polycarbonate rather than metal, it's also surprisingly lightweight. The tripod collar is easy to remove but solid. The filter effect control is a nice convenience.
The automatic focus is not particularly fast, but this is not much of a disadvantage since most photographers use manual focus in macro work anyway.
Highly recommended.
