Red is the Colour

@Twelvebit: Its a great lens. I bought the 50mm, which is great for leaves and flowers, and is small, light and easy to use hand-held.......but really I wish I'd bought the 105mm, as it would be better for insects and crawlies, and still been good for flowers. The lens image quality is superb

@Manuela Photography: Very happy, but get the 105mm. The 50mm is fantastic, but you do need to get very close for 1:1 shots - within an inch or less, so not so good without great light, as you end up making your own shadows on your subject with the lens, or terrifying every creepie crawlie your trying to photograph.
