Canon 28mm f3.5: Handling

an interesting enough subject to take pictures of the disadvantage of most macro lenses is that they're hard to use handheld even a modern image stabilized macro lens will get wobbly when you're shooting close up and you normally need to stop down the aperture to at least f5.6 or f8 to get enough…

at one side and narrower at the other the aperture also rests near the rear typically with three elements behind it what's different now becomes pretty obvious three of the lenses use large air spaces at the front three of the lenses have large block-like correcting elements in that space instead…

I prefer the Pentax lens over the Canon, even though they both produce really wonderful photos, mainly because of the ergonomics.
