Great value for money, one of the best offers.

I am happy with the lens; it produces wonderful portraits and has quick and precise focus. I preferred the Zeiss 100/2 macro, but it is much more expensive and does not have autofocus, which is essential for many. Of course, you won't get a close-up of a fly's eye, but the MP-E65 lets you to take fully functional pictures at 1/25 (as long as the subject isn't a macro), and I don't think you'll regret it.:)

Pros

Fast, precise, and reasonably priced, 2.8 is a great working hole!

Cons

With the native lens hood attached, it is cumbersome and impossible to put on, making it impossible to twist the polarizer as well. It occasionally makes ominous noises while auto-refocusing, as if it's about to be covered:) The focus could be lost in a dimly lit space.
