Ultra-macro lens that can reproduce 2:1 magnification of life-size images, showing extensive details of the object in high resolution. Features an 8" minimum focusing distance, making it ideal for super close-up shots and capturing extremely small details.
Engineered with 3 extra-low dispersion glass elements to suppress longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration across in-focus and out-of-focus areas. Purple fringing and ghosting are also minimized throughout the aperture range, reducing post-editing time.
Specifically designed for mirrorless cameras, the shorter flange distance maximizes image sharpness and makes the lens more compact and portable.
Manual focus design, along with focus distance and depth of field scales, provide precise focusing control.

Internal focusing design helps prevent the lens from coming in contact with the subject and also prevents the lens from attracting dust.

Excessive play and inconsistent dampening in focusing ring new out of box; also will not lock into Megadap ETZ21 Pro+ adapter

My copy of this lens came out of the box with an excessive amount of play in the focusing ring; it clunks side to side and back and forth intermittently, and the resistance in the dampening varies wildly. Additionally, the lens does not lock into the Megadap ETZ21 Pro+ adapter, so I cannot use it on any of my Nikon bodies without fear of it coming loose and falling off my camera. I'm very disappointed in the build quality of this lens, especially considering how much people rave about it in reviews. I have requested a refund.
Fantastic

I got this just over a year ago. I've never really used manual lenses before so there has been some learning curve but I'm enjoying it and I think it's actually benefitial to be forced into learning like this :)
Overall I've been happy with the outcome. The lens is sharp. It has a quality feel but it is a bit heavy. I'm using it on a A6700.
