    I bought this primarily for macro photography and have not been disappointed. The lens does a great job capturing fine detail in perfect focus. Like all macros, it requires patience in setting up the shot - depth of detail is very small. I have also used this for a few regular shots - and have been equally pleased. Good addition to the camera bag if you like macro.
