This is an extremely fun lens for those funniest photo ops where you want a close up and magnified image. It is also a nice portrait lens and I really enjoyed shooting some awesome portrait snaps using my 550D. I received this lens within 5 business days and it arrived nicely packed. If you are really interested in macro photography, go for this lens. You will really appreciate the detail and clarity of this lens. The only regret is that flipkart does not have any lexer class 6 memory card in...

One of the finest Macro lens.. The control it gives you when you really want a close up is awesome..FAntastic glass construct and Great with both AF and MF.. great supplement to my canon 550D ... Highly recommended.

This is one amazing prime! Really sharp, quiet AF. But found the AF hunting in indoors. So, a word of caution: If you are looking for a lens using which you can shoot indoors too, go for the IS version or use tripod.

a very, very good lens for amateurs interested in macro photography....

no prob and cons, excellent lense at its price range...

It was my dream.

I like this lens as expected it delivers the quality.
The image quality is really good, only thing is required is eaither go for IS version or use tripod for more closeup look
