I've been debating on purchasing this lens for a while now and have read/heard very positive things about it. Has anyone on here got any experience with this piece of glass?
The only complaint I have is the build quality, it's a stunning lens otherwise.>>259131If you want portraits, why are you getting a macro lens?
>>259143Because it's a short tele with decent speed, dumbfuck.
>>259131On crop:85/70-200 depending on taste in focal lengths (85 would be too long for me) > 100, probably too long for most people.On full frame:85 > 100 > 70-200.Again, for most users and portrait purposes.
>>259143It's build quality is superb but the manual focus ring feels a little too loose. Kinda in the same way than the one on 85L
I've loved mine so far. I got it for macro so I've never even aimed it at anything more than a foot away. It does well with my 2X tc also, which surprised me.
