Top Reviews  One of canon's best lenses 43 of 46 people found this review helpful. The title that ebay gave this is a bit wrong, because this lens is also for the XT, Rebel, and 30D (as of this writing). Basically anything that fits the EF-S mount. I just love, love, love this lens. I only wish they made this in EF mount, because that is where I'm heading body wise. Currently this has the closest focusing distance of the canon line-up. This lens is SUPER sharp. I use this lens for macro work on bugs and flowers. I'll also use it to do some aquarium work, since I can basically put the lens to the glass and remove any sort of reflections and distortion. The reason why I list that as a benefit is because of the focusing distance. If I were to have another lens, I would have to back away from the glass for the lens to focus on the subject. USM is very fast and accurate. I will say that when doing macro work, you need a steady hand, bump up the speed, or use a tripod. You can definitely see your hand shake in the viewfinder. It also has very nice bokeh. Final verdict: This lens is one of my favorite, and is worth the money. If you liked my review, please click on the YES button below. TIA!

After investigating many options I felt a lens that was optimized by the manufacturer to work with their digital camera would be the best bet. The price was also a factor and for under $400 this lens is worth every penny. I love to take macro photos of flowers so contrast, color and above all sharpness is my main concern. This lens did not let me down in any of these areas. Even wide open at a reasonably fast f/2.8 the frame looks sharp from edge to edge. Team this lens up with a quality macro ring flash and you will have a killer combo that will make you the envy of all your photo buddies. For a 1:1 magnifaction ratio, great build quality and pin sharp pictures this lens is a winner. Review ID: 10000000003027720 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Reviews SharpReview created: 10/02/08 by: dajohnst1984 ( 1 ) This lens is like a little sharp powerpack. It is a must have if you are a budding macro photographer. The quality and sharpness of the images produced by this lens are astounding. Unless you have a lot of light, a good flash or a tripod are must haves, but then, most serious photographers have those anyway. I was fortunate enough to get one of these with the hood for $340. It was a steal, and I have taken some pretty amazing pictures with it, bugs, eyes, flowers, you name it. If you want a good macro shot and can throw 400 bucks at a lens, I would do it. It is too bad that it only comes in the EF-s mount, when I replace my XSi in the future, I will have to get an EF macro, but that is years away. Never underestimate the power and freedom you get from using a quality tripod. Go Bogen, you won't regret it. Review ID: 10000000008872189 Was this review helpful?
