Remy looks bored with you even though you are down on the floor with her. Horizontal vs vertical???? Chicken waterers? Feeders?

Why do chickens look either curious or sad?

Mine is the "SMC" (green band) version. Yes seems to be a very fine lens, tack sharp across the focus range and good colors and contrast (with some PP work). The only real drawback I can see is that at 1:1 macro you are only about 1/2" away from the lens (have to pull the hood back). But the 50 and 100 macro's will really be the tools for that type of shooting. It is definitely a keeper!

I do not see the 1:1 facility as a draw back, just some thing that is superfluous.I do like a relatively close focus on all my lenses, just in case!
