Originally posted by ZombieArmy I actually want something longer than 77. I really want a great 135mm lens, but I feel like my choices are pretty limited in that department, especially given I don't want to cough up the absurd amount for an A*.
As others have pointed out, the DFA macro WR is extremely comparable to the 77. At least in regards to rendering. It's a bit larger (not much), takes forever to focus (and cannot focus in live view to save itself), and is WR.
I prefer using the 77, actually, at least on full frame. I can crop if needed, I get a faster aperture, faster AF. Of course when you need a macro you need a macro!
