Hi, sorry it took me so long to come back ... the lens did arrive! I have been busy and also away for a week, but have been experimenting with the lens and am happy with it. Funnily enough, I have been using it more for a portrait lens than a macro lens! Really love it for taking photos of my nephew! With regard to macro, it takes a good clear shot with plenty of detail, but the most difficult thing is holding it steady enough. In that regard, I am finding that it's no easier to take a macro shot with this lens than it was with my old compact camera. I have to take quite a few shots to get a good one, or else I just fluke a lucky shot! However I am improving with practice
