Cons: Expensive Shift function is clumsy to work with Maximum shift can only be used on DX cameras Plastic lens hood that you can only use on DX cameras No electric circuit (no info in exif) Heavily sun flares (purple and green) FX lens but works best at DX cameras
Pros: 1:1 macro, but the subject need to be very close, like 5mm from front element Very sharp at macro/close-up. Shift work great on DX cameras when you get used to work with it
Summary: A great sharp macro lens, but you need to use a coated filter when shooting landscape with the sun to minimize flares. Widest 1:1 macro makes the creativity in photographs, so it's a great lens to shoot close-up.
