Jonas Rask's review and example pictures helped me make the decision. tl;dr Is it worth its price? If you're into macro photography I'd say yes. Unboxing It's heavy! The sound and feeling as if something in the lens is loose is normal and disappears when you turn on the camera Settings Too little haptic feedback …
