No image stabilisation system, Old-fashioned design, Focusing ring's position could make it hard to adjust, Some holes in image quality
Overall then, this lens is a capable performer, with quick and silent autofocus system and generally good to excellent image quality. While more expensive then the Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Di Macro 1:1, it has the distinct advantages of an internal foc...
Abstract: All 100mm f/2.8 macro lenses ever made are ultra sharp. This is because it's easy to design a sharp lens when it's fixed focal length, or a moderate aperture, or has a normal to short telephoto focal length, or it's expensive. When you put all four of the...
