The Samyang T3.1 ED UMC is a good general purpose lens with close focus and special features for video recording. It allows 1:1 magnification and is very detailed, which can be achieved in almost any lighting and environment. I got this version from here: http://amzn.to/1KXgTmKAs. It was slightly cheaper for my needs and offered the best manual focus setting for a macro lens. PROS+ Pretty sharp when stopped. + 1:1 magnification + Internal focusing design + Compact + Available for several systems + Long focus travel + Attractive price No optical image stabilization.
