All in all this lens is great. It gives out very clear and precise colors and doesn't disappoint. The lens is almost silent when auto focusing. This lens also is very durable and easy to use. Great bang for your buck.

Easy to use, top quality images, great starting macro lens for beginner photographers like me!

Great image quality from 3.5 on; excellent AF on any body from the 40D on

Only problem with this lens is focus breathing. It is sharp across the frame with virtually no chromatic aberation. Obviously it can only be used with aps-c sensors where it is good for portrait and product shots.

I am a food photographer, and for years, I did almost all my shoots with my 24-105mm f/4. I love that lens and it does a great job, but it can't get very close. Whenever I'm shooting some small dish like an appetizer or a dessert, I'd end up having to frame way wider than I'd like and I'd have to...
