Heheheheh...
Hmmm, 96mm f2.8 equiv. Not that fast, compared to the film type 100
f2...but better than what's been offered up 'til now for 1.6 crop
digital.
Of course, my 50mm f1.8 is faster, and only slightly shorter.


Yeah, but who shoots macro wide-open?

It hadn't really hit me that this was a true Macro lens, I was just figuring
that it was one of those labeled "Macro" like the 28-135 IS. But it is a
true macro, and, you're right, max aperture is rather moot, after a point.
But if you decided to use it for a portrait lens, then max aperture may
become an issue...
