Thanks so much for such a nice comment, Earl! I'm really enjoying the lens. It's great for closeups, landscapes and almost everything between.

Thank you so much, Johnny!! I hope you're having a better time with your flash than I am with mine. I think I've got a mental block!

WOW! Love the detail on these. I have been looking for a really good detailed shot of dragonfly wings so that I can reproduce them in resin for some of my jewelry projects and here you have given me the best of any I have yet seen. Thank you, talented Lady. Glad you are enjoying the new lens!!

Corolyn, you're the lady with the talent, and I can just imagine how beautiful your dragonflies are going to be! Thank you so very much, and feel free to use any of my pictures. I'm honored.

Donna, the photos in a double download are awesome. Color and sharpness could not be better.

A couple of questions:
1. Is it a 2.8 or 4.0 f stop?
2. Does it have IS?
3. Did you use a tripod?

I have thought about this lens and I can get a used 4.0 without IS for around $650.00 and have not pulled the trigger as of now.
