This is an amazing lens for high-magnification macro. But it does take some technique and some work. It really excels at flat artwork, such as coins and stamps, because it is super-sharp edge-to-edge, but I have also done seashell macro with appropriate f-stop for depth of field. It is super convenient to use on the Olympus Telescoping Extension Tube, and in this case, has an automatic aperture with film cameras.

The short focal length enables extreme magnification, but at the cost of reach. So this is not a good "critter" lens, unless you put them in the refrigerator first. :-)

- Automatic aperture
- Fast f 2.8
- Resolution and contrast

refraction at F11+ (any lens would have this)

Combine it with variable auto-tube 65-116 and T28 and you get easy and very high quality macro work handheld!
