Cons: Difficult to use (needs a lot of practise), very small DOF, expensive with flash and special rail, no AF (but this is not so necessary for macro) and loss of sharpness from lifesize 4:1

Pros: Incredible optic performance, very sturdy, lifesize 5(!!!):1, can be used for sientific work, nice colours, up to 3:1 extremly sharp and detailled.

Summary: For a real macro-freak the very best choice, but very expensive with accesorys (about 1800€), difficult to handle and should be used only by very experienced fotografers
