if u dun mind the working distance and the "oversharpness" macro lens provides as a portrait lens, by all means~

I use it with 500D, here are some photos to share. All pictures are not crop and edit.

1/320 f/3.2 ISO 400

1/160 f/3.2 ISO 400

1/250 f/4.0 ISO 200

 

[Blur Shadow]

I don't see a problem with that.

Sorry TS got to side track abit, I heard that this macro lens is no as fast as the other prime lens, in terms of focusing speed....wonder is it very significant?

It does hunts a bit when you are doing macro but if you are doing portraits, there is a switch which you can turn to limit its focusing range, and the focusing would be very fast.

I find that the macro lens speed is fast enough for a slow mole like me . I used it for both macros and portraits.

funny how a lens is too sharp... Usually people complain that a lens is not sharp enough.
