The new lens works as a very good macro lens as well. This little guy scared the crap out of me by making a racket in the leaves next to me. I hopped up, and once I realized what he was, and verified for myself that it wasn’t poisonous (just a garter snake), I settled in to take some shots. I had a good 3 foot margin between me and the snake to take this shot, which is about where I like to be, if not further. It’s going to be really fun to shoot some insects with this lens once they start coming out.
