Opinion:It is a masterpiece with a double or triple persomality, which makes it possible to combine macro and medium-length portrait media, in the past very critical: macros were too rich in microcontrast to be convincing in the classic portrait, and the portrait medioteles in turn did not have the characteristics of detail and magnification for effective close up shots, also used with tubes, bellows or worse additional lenses. With this lens you can go in a moment from the "dreamy" and flou portrait (true, not with soft filters) to the extreme close-up shot, to the landscape detail, with a sharpness of an excellent level. Beautiful rendering against the light, without flare; very fast m.a.f., the stabilizer allows you to dare the unfathomable, even at significant RRs. The blurry is pleasant and pasty. In short, compared to the license plate data (a 100mm f:2.8) costs a bang, but considering that it performs very well the functions of generic mediotele, macro thrust optics and portrait lens you could also paradoxically support, grano salis, which does not cost much. The only relative limit is the rather generous size (but it is an internal focusing, it does not extend) and the fact that the "real" F value is not displayed as the RR increases, which in use with external flashes could mislead. But for me it is unique in the current panorama of level optics, not only at Canon. I can't wait to try it on the mountain trails, combined with the 15-35/2.8, for a kit that is still quite light and of very high versatility.
Pros:Magnification ratio, sharpness, colors, unprecedented control of spherical aberration and therefore of blur.
Cons:Honestly at a high price, although congruous to the technological innovations, I would have found it reasonable to provide it with a tripod ring.
Opinion:The lens, as it was logical to expect, is of a stunning sharpness and returns colors equally at the top. The same applies to the micro-contrast, which is expected to be high from a professional macro and which does not disappoint, from the first shots. The operating silence and the speed of the autofocus really fast are striking, even considering the type of lens. What makes the difference, however, lies, substantially, in two characteristics that, at the current state of things, are unique: the magnification factor 1.4 and the control of bokeh: both open up scenarios as unusual as they are exciting. We can now go further and further into details hitherto unexplored from a photographic perspective and check, already in the car, the background of the image we portray. In this regard and provided that we use the SA ring grano salis, we find ourselves a tool of undoubted usefulness also in portraiture, always after having made a little 'hand. In all honesty, the only note is the absence of the tripod ring-bracket, which at that price could, quietly, have been part of the package.
Opinion:It has been a month that I have been in possession of it replacing the previous macro, it is great not only for macro lovers but also for portraits. You can approach at a minimum distance from the subject that is not very close and therefore does not bother the animals. It has a macro ratio of up to 1.4 . Very fast and quiet in focusing. It's a bit longer than the previous macro. The colors are very natural. It is a blade.
