There's no arguing that the Canon 65mm is the ultimate consumer and professional macro. One one hand, it's a simple concept with next to no electronics, no AF, no manual focus even. And yet it's the only one of its kind.
So why is there no Nikon equivalent? (serious macro photographers could, and I'm guessing have jumped to Canon to utilize it.) Why hasn't Tokina or Sigma come along, copied the design, gotten 80% of the image quality, and charged half as much?
Or maybe it's a patent issue?
