I love macro photography and recently brought a regular speedlight (albeit a compact one) so that I could take it around with me; a bit of a pain, if I'm honest, with having the diffuser on it and trying to get the best light. Then I noticed this one a month after, and it was even cheaper, so I thought I would try it.I actually have 2 macro lenses over the years, a Nikon F mount and a Nikon Z mount, and there is an important thing you need to do with the Z mount lens; do not mount the flash to the lens part, which moves in and out, attach it with a larger adapter to the outer case. This is because it will put undue pressure on the lens and can result in lens motor failure. I did a lot of research on that, so I thought you should know.Loved the fact that it came with so many adapters, as I was a bit worried I was going to have to find some to fit my lenses.The light is beautifully even that comes out of it and really makes your picture pop, and the cable to the main unit is soft and flexible and doesn't pull against front. Very simple controls on the back to adjust the power, and so far, I've only needed the lowest setting for macro work, although I'm sure the higher setting will come in useful for portraits (not tried that yet).

I enjoy macro photography and was very happy when Nikon announced the 105mm f2.8 Micro lens for the Z mount cameras.The lens is larger than than the F mount counterpart, but not as heavy. It produces outstanding images, sharp from corner to corner. As a S-line Z mount lens, it has a customizable control ring and function button.Focusing is quick and silent, and the lens includes a focus-limiting switch to limit the working distance for close up work. It also has 4.5 stops of VR, so while you may not want to necessarily ditch the tripod for true macro work, you can use this in the field with confidence if you are not traveling with a tripod. The included photo was taken handheld.Highly recommended!

This is the sharpest macro lens I've ever used. On a Nikon Z7ii camera it is able to resolve individual pollen grains in a flower. I am looking forward to taking more macro shots - and maybe portraits - with it.

This lens is sharp, possibly the sharpest one I own, and it performs well in low-light locations. The picture of the dog I attached was cropped-in from the original and is still sharp enough to see the texture of the dog's eyes. The 22mm focal length on the APS-C sensors of the EF-M camera system give about a 35mm full-frame equivalent field of view, similar to a disposable camera. This field of view works great indoors, further bolstered by the good low-light performance of the lens, and works for urban photography where you often cannot back up any farther while trying to take photos of buildings and other landmarks.This lens has the added bonus of being the smallest lens Canon has made for an interchangeable lens camera ever at the time of this review. This has the benefit of reducing sway of your image while aiming the camera and makes the entire camera system small enough to fit in a coat pocket. This is one of those topics I didn't care about at the time I bought the lens, but once I saw how remarkably small my camera system was while using my sharpest lens I was impressed!This has been the lens I recommend to everyone that owns an EF-M camera body. It's so sharp that cropping in from 22mm to 32mm gives sharp enough results for social media and standard-sized prints if you don't want to spend the money for the 32mm EF-M that costs twice as much.I almost passed over this lens when I was new to the EF-M system and didn't see a point in getting a lens for a focal length my kit lens already covered, especially when this lens doesn't have image stabilization. Now that I own this lens it's become my favorite as of this review and it's the lens I keep on my camera when I take it around town.

I got this lens a while a go...the first copy was defected but the second one was the right one....is very sharp considering that is not L series...but the focusing system is very fast...I can focus almost instantaneously...is fantastic considering the fact that is 4-5.6 lens....for everyday shots is very good...I was debating between the version of 70-300 L and this one and I'm glad that that i choose this one...considering the price.... now compared to the 70-300 Nikon version is faster and sharper without doubts,, i have Nikon and canon full frames and regarding to the 70-300 range...this canon beat the Nikon one....for sure...

This lens has given me some of the sharpest photos i have ever taken. The macro capabilities are out of this world! Its quality should cost more than it does!

May just be the sharpest and quickest Canon lens in your bag. This is a fairly lighweight lens, you could carry this all day. Super fast and silent focusing. Some reviews call it quicker than the 100-400 mkii

I LOVE this lens! I am using this lens for landscapes and nature photography. It is the sharpest lens I have ever owned. I haven't noticed much color fringing or distortion with it. It is great having a wide angle lens that can focus at such a close distance. The 11 - 22mm focal length is very versatile. I took this on a photography trip and for 3 days the only 2 lenses I used were this one and a 55-200mm and I have 6 lenses in my bag I just didn't need them. This lens isn't weather sealed but it is definitely an upgrade from the EF-M 15-45mm. It has better build quality and produces much better images. I highly recommend this!
