Very limited use., By This review is from: Opteka 10x 58mm HD� Professional Macro Lens for Canon EOS / EF (Electronics) This is a good learning tool. The 58mm thread size was perfect for my old kit lens, but now I've moved on and probably will not buy another lens with that thread size.As far as quality goes, it is good considering the price. It takes a very steady hand to get super close up photos, and due to the way you focus (by moving closer or farther from the subject), you can't really use a tripod. I have taken a few pictures that turned out ok with this attachment, but for the most part, I think someone who wants to do a lot of macro work would be better served getting a dedicated macro lens. Depends on what you want to do and how much you want to spend, I suppose. This piece also works as a 10x magnifier for pictures or slides or anything, so I guess it will still come in handy for that. This lens comes with protective covers and some basic instructions. 18 of 19 people found the following review helpful:  Opetka 10x 58mm HD Pro Macro Lens for Canon Rebel, By This review is from: Opteka 10x 58mm HD� Professional Macro Lens for Canon EOS / EF (Electronics) I absolutely love is 10x HD Macro lens...I have photographed many macro flowers and insects... and they came out fantastic..Took a little getting used to the moving in and out to focus properly but it was worth the little effort you had to put into it..The image was so detailed you simply would not believe.....I would suggest using it with your smaller lens (ie. 18-55mm lens). I also own another macro/telephoto lens but I still can't the details as with the 10x HD lens. I would recommemd this additonal lens to anyone who might be considering purchasing... have NO reservations... you won't be disapointed at all.

I noticed that if you want to use it with ur 18-55 mm kit lens for canon xti, you cannot go below 24 mm else you get dark corners at very low focal lengths.. but in the ranges above 24 mm it creates awesome pictures.. |

It appears that Nikon has consistently improve and exceeded expectations in this "special purpose lenses" category. Historically, every Nikkor (brand name for Nikon lenses) which are stamped with "Micro-Nikkor" are stellar performers and tops its class versus the competition, this new AF-S DX Micro Nikkor 40mm f2.8G is no exception.This lens is the latest of the lineage dating from the Micro Nikkor 55mm f2.8 AIS mount manual focus lens of early 1980s, its FX-format (35mm film) equivalent is the higher specs current model Nikon AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f2.8G ED N which works as a 90mm on the smaller DX-format DSLR. This is an interchangeable bayonet Nikon "G" mount single focal length (prime) DX lens designed for Nikon DX-format APS-C sensor based Digital SLR cameras. It has a...

I have owned both, used them extensively and can safely conclude that the 40mm micro/macro is the better all-around lens. It can do most the 35 can do, but offers the added bonus of macro and superior sharpness and resistance to chromatic aberration.Here are the pros of the 35mm 1.8 - affordable prime lens - fast 1.8 aperture makes it potentially wonderful for indoor and low-light shots when flash is not available or permitted - extremely sharp if you get a good copy (I've owned two copies. One was tack sharp all the way down to f/1.8. The other had a lot of chromatic aberration and purple fringing wide open). - great starter lens for a photo class Here are the cons of the 35mm 1.8 - purple fringing wide open - blurry wide open (what's the point of 1.8 if you can't use it?) - lens hood is way too small - build quality is plasticky (but this...

I have to say for the price this lens is great. I have it mounted on a Nikon D7000 and have produced some stunning macro shots. I can't believe the clarity with the lens only inches away from the subject. Also takes great portrait and landscape shots. I am well pleased with this recent offering from Nikon; they truly make great lenses. |

Tokina 100/2.8 ATX Digital Ready 1:1 AF-D Macro Lens for Nikon USA Reviews
| 45 of 45 people found the following review helpful: Exception quality to cost ratio, By This review is from: Tokina 100/2.8 ATX Digital Ready 1:1 AF-D Macro Lens for Nikon USA (Electronics) After renting the Nikkor 105 VR and testing the Tamron 90mm, I realized that each of these lenses can make superb close up images. The Nikon was just overpriced, frankly, and its VR doesn't come into play with really close work. The Tamron is quite similar in function and form to the Tokina but was fifty bucks more. After buying the Tokina I just laugh at the notion that more money gets you anything qualitatively and functionally better. Why? Because AF can only get you in the neighborhood for most close up work and you'll need to manually refine your focal plane anyways. At this point you might as well invest more $$ in lighting and other gadgets to improve your output rather than follow a name brand. If you are in the market for a sharp macro lens, get the Tokina and you'll see what I mean. 33 of 34 people found the following review helpful: Another great lens from Tokina, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Tokina 100/2.8 ATX Digital Ready 1:1 AF-D Macro Lens for Nikon USA (Electronics) This is the second Tokina Lens I've bought (the first being the 11-16). I have to say, what a fantastic lens, at around half the price of the competition.Tokinas have a few quirks, the most unusual being the focus clutch. I still don't like it. It works, but it's too awkward, especially for this lens. The push-pull action requires so much force that you'll loose the shot every time, even on the tripod. Nikon's over-ride system is so much nicer, and you get so used to it that Tokina's attempt is just so damn clunky (and believe me, it comes with a noise too). I keep forgetting when I have a Tokina on, and keep trying to over-ride the focus. I can't get used to it, and am not sure I want to. The build quality is first rate. Seriously, this is build quality you'd expect on a lens for 3 times the price. it's heavy, and heavy is good. the Optics are also first rate, it's incredibly sharp. Without spending hours taking photos of charts, I don't see any chromatic...

It was very evident that a minumum of a 100mm lens was a must. I was initially very interested in the Nikon and then came across information that the Tokina macro was designed by developers from Nikon. Plus the cost of the Nikon put me off. I've been so pleased with the Tokina macro so far. Filming orchids yesterday and the images were exceptional - even in low light. I then turned the lens on my wife, they are not kidding macro lens are great for portrait photograhy. I highly recommend this lens. This is my third Tokina lens, I own the 80-400mm and the 12-24mm wide angle. Tokina keeps surprising me with the excellent sharpnest, ease of use and rugged body. I love Nikon but Tokina is moving up in the ranks. A quality lens for those with a small budget. |
