I Earmarked bought the 100 Macro, in order to nature shots machen.Ich Scan since more than 30 years but at the macro performance of this lens comes close none and I had a lot of and also just as expensive Macros from various manufacturers (all well-known and interrressant tested lenses (CFD 50/100/200 / Sigma 60/150/180 / Tamron 90 uva.). After a few shots, I think now that I have arrived at the destination! (Only the Luminare I think even as other top Macros) A better Macro there in my eyes !!!! The gauge of A7R is operating at full capacity (and that's saying something!) The sharpness at f 2 is absolutely useful, starting with the next aperture stop everything will be up to the edge Superscharf (coming up here other manufacturers also somehow) .The Bokeh lens is wonderful (and there hears it with all the other stop on) .just at the macro bokeh brings but then this certain fascination, where you then the picture but what want to see more than the without beautiful bokeh (quasi the Smarties on the ice)? those who need .Autofokus on macro, I was always more disturbed than it helped me (you had to be limited by this restriction switch either the lens in its sharpness scala or pumped ages (due to the extremely long screw flights), so AF is always off, then you do not need him. (limitation when used in the Portrait area interferes with the manual then focus but because as Portait the lens is very tough to beat) .The labels on the lens are useful and reliable (eg. after 10Metern coming "infinite character" This is also so, after 10 meters is everything to infinity !!! just the depth of assistance Scala ... Conclusion: "clear 5 star (when it would be 6)"
