Cons:Little advertising that the company does in Italy
Opinion:I folded on this lens after the biblical wait to get a laowa 100mm 2.8. In the end I jumped at the offer found on eBay of a gentleman French who sold it for about 370 euros, and I did not repeat it. It's STREPITOSA. I start by saying that I've had a lot of macro lenses (100 f2 zeiss, canon L, sigma 105-150-180-180 2.8, laowa 60 2.8, nikon 60-105-200 ), and I wouldn't be exaggerating in saying that this is the best of all. Of course I take into account the fact that it is a 150mm, which differentiates its use from a 60mm. The "best" is due to the analysis of the particularities and the general synthesis of these. Let's start listing them. The first is definitely the internal focus. A key feature to ensure adequate tropicalization, especially of a lens whose use will be predominantly "wild" (the same name dragonfly implies). The second is the size. 840gr for a lens of its category are very few. I sold the 180 2.8 Sigma precisely because of its abnormal size, which relegated its use to the easel only, which in certain macro contexts is not easy to use. This one is as big as a normal 85mm, with probably the front lens even smaller. The third is the presence of a dial that hardens the focus. Being a fully manual lens it is in fact necessary that the focus is as ergonomic as possible, and irix has studied this system that centers IN PIENO. Depending on our needs, we could in fact soften or harden the focus ring. This at very high magnification ratios, will allow us to have practically a micrometric slide embedded in the optics itself. Too bad only for the absence of millimeter indicators of distances on the barrel. It is true that the focus dial is perforated rubber, and therefore a minimum of reference we can still have it. Fourth feature is definitely the excellent optical quality. ACs are virtually non-existent, a result that had never before been reached by any macro lens above 105mm. The unnecessary sharpness to say is ready to meet sensors well over 50mpx in the range of openings between 4 and 8. The only flaw i can say is that the lampshade is not really granite, and how the case is perhaps too narrow (although welcome addition to the package ). The latter is made of very rigid plastic material, capable of absorbing moderate shocks. It is not (to make a reference) the classic Sigma case, which certainly would not be able to absorb a bump. Basically it's a lens that in my opinion on the 600 th is a best-buy. If it beats it with the laowa 100 2.8 (which sooner or later I will get ), which has from its an rr of 2:1, but a focal length of 100mm and an "internal zoom" not properly engineered.
