I bought this lens as my first. I want to note right away that it is complex and I had to get used to it. He has a lot of working nuances that you have to take into account if you want to get good material. Immediately what caught my eye was that he did not have a constant aperture ratio. You won't get 2.8 in close range. Maybe this is true, since macro shooting is always a great depth of field. Therefore, you should always take a tripod. Another point - it can be slow and this is a real problem. The bug will not wait for you. Having also spent a month in South America in the jungle, I realized that he was not protected at all! Had to be cleaned upon arrival. He sucked it all up! As for the material - no questions! Good color reproduction, ringing sharpness especially at f8, Powerful stabilizer. According to the stub, I can say one thing, if someone claims that he is not needed in macro, he is lying! Stabik saved me more than once. The main thing is to know how to use it! And yes, you can hear it!) It's like a monster that eats a battery charge. Take it, you won't regret it, it's beautiful! Just be careful in nature. But not sealed. Below are examples from it.
