I bought this lens upon recommendation from my friend.
The main reason was its price, I was planning to buy one of Canon 70-200 L-Series lenses.
Its picture quality is superb and built-in really nicely. If you are on budget and cannot affor Canon L-Series ones, then I would recommend this one (for me, I am planning to get a wide-angle lens, and together it would be still considerably cheaper than Canon 70-200/f2.8 IS USM L).

This was the first macro (micro) lens I bought; I also have the 105mm now too which is definitely my preferred lens but I have to say I'm glad I have this one too. The performance is excellent and it is lighter and easier to hold than the 105mm which can be a bit heavy if you're small. It produces good close-ups and can be used with filters to get closer if necessary. It makes a super portrait lens too so if you want something that can be used for close-ups and people then this is one to consider.
I'm using this with the D50 and the output from it is very good indeed.
