9. Even though 100mm is not the focal length I like, this lens has a boat load of character.

It has enough reach so I don't have to tromp through the flower bed to snag a photo.

This lens is making me consider the highly regarded Sigma 60mm 2.8. That will give me 120mm, perfect for street portraits and other such subjects. At $200, it's a steal.

Do you do anything with your photos? Tom Kitten Aug 2015 #16

I really don't do anything with the photos other than share, and on occasion, gift them. alfredo Aug 2015 #17
