I have an A5100 and would like to try macro photography. I got this open box + $50 gift certificate so it's quite an incentive for me to buy it. About the lens Pro The lens is quite light and it came with a hood. It can capture bugs that don't move.
Cons You have to be real close to the subject to get a macro picture. Hopping bugs would jump by the time you get close to it.
