Wow… I would really buy this lens if I am a Canon user and Macro lover.

Thank you very much for this review, it has very helpful information. I’ve purchased the lens not too long ago and have been experimenting trying to shoot bugs, and so far I have only been able to get somewhat decent shots of slow ones (caterpillars and so on).

I have the Twin lite flash, do you think that plus sunlight are enough for handheld shots? Should I use an external flash too?

I’ve heard that an adapter ring is available to use the Canon macro lens on a Nikon D300 body. Is that the case, and is there any further information on how to order?

This lense is really good for the money spent. It produces great images for being a very inexpensive lense. I still am a little nervous about the make of it, especially since it’s made out of plastic. I just handle it with a little extra care than my other lenses. Hopefully I can get alot of wear out of it. Either way, I already got my moneys worth.
