What this lens is good for

A 120mm full-frame equivalent macro reaching 1:1 life-size, the most versatile all-round macro for the system. The longer focal length gives useful working distance for live insects in the field, the f/2.8 aperture allows available-light shooting, and at 185g it is light enough for handheld macro.
