Reviews around bokeh (5.00 of 5)

  • The bokeh on this is really nice and smooth and it’s actually been great for video as well
  • Bokeh is pleasantly smooth in defocused areas
  • Macro shots are near microscopic, the LEDs provide enough light on their own out to about 6” or so for fast sharp macros at 2.8.This may be classified as a macro, but it does an incredible job at portraits, with great bokeh

Reviews around focus (5.00 of 5)

  • The focus is absolutely silent.
  • Most significantly, AF is accurate and rarely misses on my 80D. Focus is buttery smooth and great for touchscreen pulls during video
  • Like other STM lenses, manual focus is "focus-by-wire"; i.e., the MF ring activates the focus motor but isn’t mechanically coupled to the lens

Reviews around image (5.00 of 5)

  • I found it a dream for quick photos of small flat objects—coins, documents and art work—as there is virtually no distortion in both macro and normal ranges and the IS allows sharp images without busting out my tripod all the time
  • : I want excellent image quality in an easy to carry package
  • When zooming in on photos of moss, the images look surreal; as from another universe

Reviews around shot (5.00 of 5)

  • This is a very high quality, versatile lens that is a no-brainer considering its exceptional ability to close-focus for amazing macro shots
  • You'll be blown away by the great shots you can get with this lens that other lenses can't do
  • Hand-held macros at a short distance required multiple attempts and some getting used to, but at the end I was able to capture some cool shots of random insects in the back yard as well as flower close-ups

Reviews around plastic (5.00 of 5)

  • Although lightweight—190g—construction seems reasonably robust: sturdy plastics in barrel and metal mount

Reviews around ring (5.00 of 5)

  • Also, a one inch working distance blocks most ambient light, so the integral LED ring light is essential

Reviews around length (5.00 of 5)

  • I don't think I've found another nifty-50 equivalent focal length with I/S.
  • Not the ideal focal length for macro, but it opens up opportunities with the short MFD.

  • It's a nice AOV for video and the IS is handy even at this focal length when on the move.
