Why we recommend this

The 150mm focal length combined with a bright f/2.8 aperture and 4-stop optical stabilization delivers sharp 1:1 macro images from a comfortable 15-inch working distance, aided by three SLD elements and Super Multi-layer coating. Its splash-proof build and flat-field front element make it equally capable for precise copy work and weather-sealed field use. This lens is best for macro photographers shooting skittish insects or detailed portraits who need extra subject distance without sacrificing life-size magnification.
