Now, of course, if you compare them with the more expensive lenses, look for edge-to-edge sharpness, distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration, auto focus, auto aperture, etc, etc and the more expensive lenses win. However, when it comes down to it, the layman could look at the image made by this and by a more expensive lens and would have a hard time telling the difference.

A: To be called a macro lens, the image has to be recreated in a 1:1 ratio life size on the sensor. With this 100mm lens, focused at it's minimum distance of 12 does come close but not 1:1.
