Title: Exactly What I Wanted
Review: I won't waste time reiterating all the positive reviews of this lens. I was looking for a lens to do macro photography, something to dial in on the small things, be they animate, inanimate, it doesn't matter. This lens lets me do exactly that. No image stabilization and the auto focus will hunt but if you're shooting macro you're using a tripod and, at least with my Canons, using LiveView to dial in the focus.The lens tripod mounting arrangement is great, being able to quickly rotate the whole camera is a definite plus when framing small subjects.Build quality is excellent. The included case and hood are a nice touch, given the cost of these lenses its disappointing that Canon doesn't include a case with their offerings.
