    I liked this lens, but I didn't have a full understanding about its uses. It would have been better to go into a store and get a little bit of an education on it before I bought it. Not exactly what I was thinking about it when I bought it. Still really good lens

    Wanted to have something to shoot macro but didn’t want to spend a lot. This fit the bill. Only down is you need to be pretty close to the subject and the manual focus is easier then auto focus but overall for what I wanted this works

    This lens is exactly as advertised: a fixed-focus lens that can focus to 1:1. I use it for photocopying things I can't scan. It has excellent resolution.
