Key Specs

- Minimum Focal Length: 100 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 100 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)

Great Lens
We bought this lens for marco photography and very happy about it. It allows making very close/detailed images. The only thing is that it doesn't have a stabilizer, so manual focusing when doing closeup requires still hands or tripod.

Excellent Macro Lens
This lens produces excellent quality macro shots - very close and fast at 2.8. Solid build. Beautiful bokeh. I use this with my 7D and am getting fantastic results. Very sharp. The best part is that the cost is economical.

Takes Good Basketball Action Photos
I really love this lens! It did however take some getting use to. With this lens it took some time to figure out what camera settings worked best. Once I got that figured out I fell in love with this lens. This lens is a good len for taking photos in gyms with low lighting. I love taking basketball action shots, but have a lot of issues with low light. With this lens I am able to take good action shot in low light without using a flash. My only complaint is I wish it zoomed. You need to be close to the action to get the blurred back ground affect. If you get to close it will cut the player off. But to far away while it still takes good photos though the subject doesn't stand out as well. It would be nice to be able to zoom in so as to focus more on the subject. This lens has fast focus for fast action. This is a good lens for those of us that need a better lens without the extrem price. It is a little on the heavy side. That is not an issue for me, I look at that as meaning a good quility lens. Since switching to this lens I have people offering to pay me to take photos of thier athlete. You will not be disappointed with this lens.
