ONly heard from a few users that like most macro lenses from major manufacturers, it is very sharp.

I am not sure what you are asking....for a review of lens that you already have? Are you unhappy with it? Photozone.de was pretty nice to the lens (http://www.photozone.d​e …macro-review--test-report (external link)) and as far as i understood from all the reviews of a large number of macro lenses that I have read...they are all great optically. There are small issues which may make one lens a better choice than another for a specific individual...e.g. your lens has a recessed element and extends on 1:1 as much/further than/less than....X
What do you think about your own lens? like it? hate it? love it?

thank you for the info. :) i was just wondering how it adds up to other macro lenses. i bought it before i really started getting into macro. i do like it, dont get me wrong, i just didnt know if i should have gone with a different brand. and i was just wanting to get other peoples opinions if they had it too since it is the only macro lens i have owned.
