I added a sentence about it.
In photography, only for those who look for a narrow FOV at close focus (and for video, the both the widening and narrowing kind can be intrusive).
So for me, this widening focus breathing is a negative for this lens. It could not replace my 70-200mm f4 L, which narrows its FOV, for a lot of things I do with it (or I'd have to add a lot of extension tubing).
It looks like you do a lot of close-ups.
Why not buying a long macro lens instead? It would seem better suited to your shooting style?
And the need to carry 2 lenses?
The Sigma EX 150mm f2.8 is quite affordable and should be better and definitely more convenient than extension tubes.
Personally, I'd take a macro lens over extension tubes, but I guess it's a personal matter.
