Rated 4 out of 5

Plastic filter threads :(

The lens seems to be quality built except for one thing. More on that later. The lens seems sharp and used for further distance seems sharp in corners. Closer up becomes soft. Macro tends to do that, so nothing bad there Focus is slow. I didn't expect a speed demon for up close shots but something just a little quicker would have been welcomed. The big fault I see so far - plastic filter threads. I use a Bolt Light ring that fits on the end of the lens. It has an attachment ( also plastic ) that screws into the filter threads to attach the flash. The two don't hold at all. It pops of without unscrewing it's 67mm to 67mm attachment. I am going to try putting on a 67-72mm step up ring and then attach the 72mm attachment and see if that holds. If not, this lens is going back and I'll be thinking more on the nikon 105.
