Photographer's comments:

"It was one of the first outdoor photos I took using the lens. I had played around with macro photography using extension tubes, reversed lenses etc, but did not get very good results. I had been saving for a proper macro lens and doing a lot of research into them, youtube videos reading reviews etc. I was very fortunate in that a friend decided to change has camera system and offered me his lens. I snapped it up and haven’t looked back since. What I love about this lens is the push/pull focus system which allows me to quickly focus the lens to where I need it to focus and the quality is fantastic. Also lends itself to being a great portrait lens."
