Hello.

I'm about to buy a macro lens soon. And I was wondering what others thinks about this lens for canon.

I would like to know what's the benefits, how sharps images can I get. How close I can get to the object. And if it's worth the money.

I have that lens.

the built quality is very well made, even if it’s made from plastic, it’s high quality plastic.
You can get pictures on 1:1 ratio, which means the subject will be bigger size.

Regarding the image quality, it’s very sharp .

Thanks for reply. Mostly I want to use this lens for flowers and bugs. And I want to get proper sharp images.

If you are on budget. I would recommend you to check the simple version 100mm. The only difference is that doesn't have Image stabilisation and is not weather sealed. As long as you are taking pictures with tripod on good weather condition, you should be fine.

That's a great lens. If you can afford, go for it. You can even shoot portraits with this lens. The images are very sharp. If you cannot afford maybe look for sigma or for non premium lens. It's way more cheaper.
