It's a highly specialized lens, you sure you really need it? Before you answer yes... make sure you answer yes to the three questions i have below lols.
Do you have macro ring lights?
Do you have a extremely sturdy tripod?
Do you have a focusing rail?
Ofc I'd also get everything I need.

i was thinking of buying that once, but then i would have had to buy a macro flash also and i dont think lens only for macro is worth it all. you do know that you can only shoot really close up macro with it? its only for 1:1 to 5:1 and you cant focus it further away
I was thinking of getting into bugs and scrubs and other little things. 1:1 isn't enough sometimes.

Do it. Don't justify it. Act on impulse.
If I can find a way to make money off it so that it will pay for itself within a 6 months to a year then I'll do it. That's my dogma on every piece of equipment I buy - it's gotta give me an edge over what's available.
