I can't say I like how Canon's site presents the lens. If it were not for all of your comments I might have missed the hood/filter threads issue. Of course Canon users are familiar with the focus by wire limitations. I'm not overly thrilled, that a macro lens comes with the MFD of 130mm given, and they fail to mention the MOD is more like 30mm(?). LEDs aren't exactly flashes, and I guess the use of flashes will be a bit tricky. But maybe the LED's + IS will be more than enough. Stopping way down might not be as critical.
That's the bad news. The good news is it is definitely a tempting lens which I would love to try
With IS, a metal mount, silent AF - anyways one can always focus by moving the camera -and a reasonable price, I have little doubts that I will get one! I had some doubts about STM in the beginning. I can't say I've experienced focusing problems. I'm going to predict this is going to be a great lens!
