Have you tried this lens for portrait and headshots? Does this lens turn out complimentary portraits and headshots, or is it really optimized for close up work?
I use the lens for both portrait and macro with very good results. I personally like the complementarity of this lens as I try to keep the amount of lenses low.
Hi,
I have this lens android it’s great for micro photography, and it’s compartable with Tc AF-S Teleconverter TC-20E III.
