Great macro lens for insects

I've had this lens for almost three years and I find it perfect for the task at hand: portraits of bugs and flies. You can use it for human portraits, but don't even think of this lens as a replacement for the 200mm f/2.8. Autofocus is terribly slow and noisy. The A850 2.0 firmware has somewhat improved this situation. When shooting macro, I usually use the lens in manual focus mode, so focus speed and noise aren't a factor. Thanks to the long focal length, I have a long working distance and…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I'm worried

Excellent telephoto macro lens for the camera

I would like to start by using this lens adapted to the Sony a7 and it works great although it is an unorthodox lens for mine camera is. have greater sharpness and color rendition at open aperture. I also like bokeh at macro distances. It's not as versatile as the shorter macro, but I needed a longer focal length for butterflies and dragonflies and find it to be the ideal focal length for this application. I also like the large manual focus ring, which is very smooth at long range. I don't use…

Best macro I've ever used

Pros: Extremely sharp Smooth focus Lighter than a Canon L lens (easy to carry) Nice rubberized tactile focus ring Circular rotating ring for the polarizer Longer 1:1 macro distance Black (can t stand) like Canon) Has a lens collar Versatility (180mm is also good for portraits) Cons: Slowest autofocus among lenses Lighter than Canon L lens (less resistant to shocks/mirror bumps) Depth of field 1-2mm! As you can see, the pros far outweigh the cons. And the cons are really gross, except for the…

Very good macro lens

I've spent countless hours looking for a good macro lens and I've mostly settled on the Sigma 70mm, Tamron 90mm and 180mm. I've read complaints about how close you have to get with 70mm or 90mm lenses and figured any extra distance I could put between me and shy animals and bugs would be nice (assuming that lens can focus to 18.5 inches). The lens was packed in a plastic bag (with a small desiccant bag) and placed in the included lens case (and in the original box). I was glad to see it…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old
