    This lens is really great. If you are not sure about spending for it - just do it! You won't regret it. I'm new to photography and this lens allows me to take incredible macro pictures. Make sure you adhere to the minimum distance from your objects, or it won't focus - I use this on a Canon Rebel T6. It is my go-to lens of choice for up-close and also portrait photography from here on out!
