This lens is amazing. Period. If you're in doubt about the price, just do it. You will not regret it. Day and night between my shots with my previous lens, which was only $75 less than this one, but the Irix 150mm Dragonfly is way ahead of other lenses in quality. Here is an example photo of what I did.
