Is it suitable for dental photography? did anyone try it for dental photos combined with a canon 100mm macro lens?

I haven't tried it myself, but I don't think there would be a better combo for this purpose. I mean a 100mm macro with this specific of flash, Yongnuo or not.

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be.I returned mine for a refund

No- the focusing distance is much too far. Great lens- but not for macro work.

Personally I like this lens a lot... so I think it will work for anything you're wanting to shoot with it. The only issues I've run into with it are images can be soft at times. Not sure if that's the lens or the photographer! :0)

Two totally different lenses. I wouldn't even try messing with the 100mm macro for portraits, but the 50mm 1.4 is one of the best portrait lenses you can get for a cropped camera like yours. Caveat - I haven't tried non-Canon branded lenses.

Yes, it is very good for macro close-ups, blurring the background beautifully! A very versatile lens. You can't go wrong! Very sharp photos.

Yes. I just completed shooting many pieces of jewelry for a catalog. The Macro lens was great.

I only used it for macro photography in terms of stills. But for me it was not awkward. I Don't own a follow focus system, so I'm constantly turning the focus ring by hand. I like the control, though I would suggest always using the magnification function in your camera to focus perfectly.

I have used it for taking portraits, as well as for macro shots. You have to stand back a bit for portraits, especially full body shots. It works great and it's my favorite lens!

I would not recommend for portrait photography, I find it far too "long" for that, especially if you have a non full frame camera. I stick with my 85mm for portraits. It could however be used as "a telephoto lens in the day time" but there are other lenses that would be better choices for that as well. I only use a tripod if I am doing product photography, otherwise I use it handheld. Overall this is an absolutely fantastic lens, I just use it for more along what it was designed for, macro (and product) photography, but have used it as a telephoto lens once or twice in a pinch.

I had a Canon 50mm 2.5 macro ,it is real reliable, it is an older lens, very sharp also great for portrait work it creates a soft bokeh.

Yes- it is a true macro. It probably is not as sharp as a dedicated macro- like a Tamron 90mm- but it will work in a pinch. The lens is a good "all around" lens. If you do not need low light, fast action, National Geographic sharpness, this is a very good lens.

These extension tubes were hit and miss for me with my 5D MKII--don't expect autofocus to work every lens. Btw, your 100mm macro should be good enough for most of close-up work.

It will preform very well as its an excellent lens. Keep in mind that you will be using it on a crop body so its effective focal length will be greater than 100MM. Its also an excellent macro lens which will open a whole new world of photography to you....get a good tripod as your next purchase is you decide you really like macro. Lastly canon L lens retain their value if taken care of so in essence you can consider your purchase a rental. Get a good lens hood and a filter to protect the front element and you should be good to go. You will eventuality upgrade you t31 but this lens will stay with you forever It will preform very well as its an excellent lens.

It has a very small depth of focus. Best to stick with macro uses and keep a normal lense handy for regular photos.

I'm sorry but I have not used it yet. I love the fact that it can be so compact, have tried it on both lenses for size, but as yet have not taken any photos.

It works just fine on my D90. I like it best for portraits and close up macro shots where I want to flood the object with light. When I bought mine, I questioned it's ability for use with nikon because it was pictured with a canon. The unit comes with many lens adaptors so it can be mounted to just about any lens.
