Let's start by saying that this is not perfect and it is not so easy to use and get right, mainly because it is manual focusing - not necessarily a problem, but comes with no focusing aids other than you can see in live view. It is heavy - think, weighs a ton!

This 100mm manual focus telephoto macro lens, offers a fast f/2.8 maximum and life-size magnification at its closest focus distance.

Very sharp from maximum aperture; Smooth manual focus action; Good build; Low CA; Low distortion

Lack of autofocus may be enough to put many off this lens; Priced higher than other alternatives that offer more features

The Samyang 100mm F2.8 ED UMC Macro ($599) comes in at an attractive price point when compared with many other autofocus macro lenses of similar focal lengths, and it's plenty sharp, especially at the narrower apertures used to achieve a reasonable depth of field when working at high magnification.

Quite sharp when stopped down; 1:1 magnification; Internal focus design; Compact; Available for multiple systems; Long focus throw; Attractive price point

Some edge softness at wide apertures; Manual focus design is not for everyone; Omits optical stabilization

You have to make changes to the camera settings in the menu so that exposure will occur without a lens attached. I felt that this is awkward and you have to remember to reset it for use with other lenses. I returned the lens.
