What I like about it is it's price, weight and sharpness.I rarely use auto-focus when doing macro so for me, the auto-focus speed is irrelevant.I stayed away from the shorter focal lengths because when you get too close you usually scare the bugs you might want to photograph and, most important, you start cutting the light from your subjects.As far as sharpness between different lenses, I think they pretty well do the job. The big thing is that at a very close distance the DoF is so so small that the unsharp pics are usually the user's fault.</blockquote>
