The only lens of it's kind
4 of 4 found this helpful More of a microscope than a lens going from life size to 5 times larger than life. The higher the magnification the more shallow the depth of field becomes.
Be aware this lens is only for macro. at 1x (actual size your subject must be about 4 inches away from the lens, as 5x 1.6 inches.) The lens has no focus ring. You focus by zooming the lens or moving the camera on a focusing rail.
You will need to always use this with a tripod to get the best results. Also a focus rail is very helpful. There is a good one for about $40 on ebay. Search for "Macro Focusing Rail Slider for DSLR" and order one shipping from the USA and not China. I have ordered from China and it sometimes takes several weeks to arrive and I had one item that never showed up.
If you shoot outside you will also want a ring light flash which attaches to the lens. This will run you from $200 to $500. You will probably end up using the smallest aperture f16 to maximize the area in focus (which will still be quite small).
When shooting things so small at high enlargements the slightest wind or vibration can ruin your shot. I was shooting in my home studio and could not get a clear shot. I was using a remote shutter release so I was not touching the camera. Then I realized the slight air movement when the heat was running was enough to blur the shot. Also just moving my foot on the floor from one spot to another flexed the floor just enough to blur the shot. So it takes practice to get good shots.
This is probably the best lens available for macro photography.
