[Manual Focus] You need patience to work with this manual focus lens. But the results are worth the effort. 5

[80°] For the cost, this lens is very much worth the cost. 5

[80°] I'm new to macro photography, but this one definitely takes some impressive photos and is fairly inexpensive if you're just getting into it. Picky on focusing, but that may be my lack of experience. Here is a photo of morning dew on a spider web. 5

[f/28] I've never owned a macro before, I picked this up as part of a package deal on craigslist. I freakin love it! First off, the quality and build of the lens is surprisingly excellent. Second off, if you've been holding off on a macro like me, you should definitely just get this. 5

[80°] I use this on an Olympus OMD EM5 MkII with the in-camera focus stacking feature. It produces excellent, consistent results. I blow the images up to 30 long dimension, if I've done my part they are lovely. Because many of the subjects I shoot are reflective, I removed the LED hood and use lights from the side. Best results come from focus stacking, but that is routine in all my close-up work. 5

[80°] So far I am very impressed with the results I have been getting, They are sharp and crisp. The depth of field is excellent at F5.6 to f11. The build quality of the lens is excellent, perfect fit on the body of my a6000, its quite heavy for its size. The extending hood takes a little getting used to but it does a great job in shielding the lens from both light and damage. Overall Its excellent value for the money. 5

[f/28] This lens is solidly made and takes sharp photos with my Fuji XT-10. I can't ask for anything more at this price point. 5

Carlos	13/07/2024
[f/8] Best buy for the price !! 5

Matthew	08/07/2024
[f/28] VERY solidly built lens. And the macro capabilities are quite impressive at this price. I like the manual focus, personally. The depth of field at 1:1 and wide open is astonishingly shallow, so you'll need to stop way down if you're trying to photograph anything that might move even the slightest bit. I cannot imagine you'll find anything better for the price, however. 5

[Manual Focus] This was love at first sight. A fantastic lens that solves my tasks. If I were to describe how lenses work, I can only say: turn ordinary binoculars and look through them. Shows a wide-angle picture with options for taking Micro pictures. With best regards. Karl A. Allan 5
