I have this lens. and I love it. This is the lens I've used for my pictures in the macro and nature galleries here. My macro of a butterfly is my best rated ever.

One nice thing about it is that it comes with a lens hood, saving you a few dollars (or pounds).

My only complaint about it is that sometimes the lens is a little difficult to get out of macro mode, but I think that is more due to operator error on my part than a mechanical flaw.
