I'm pretty sure for me it would be only be better if it was on a tripod. One of my first shots with the lens was a Cerceris wasp on a canopy of white carrot flowers. These have been somewhat challenging subjects in the past, even with 60 and 180mm macro lenses. But my very first shot produced a very decent result at f/6.3 and ISO 200.
I asked the question because of the emoticon. Far from clarifying, I was wondering if he was happy with his lens, laughing at my choice (heaven forbid!) or congratulating me on having chosen a very sharp and versatile lens. I'm fine with any of those reactions, just curious, that's all.
I'm probably not as much a perfectionist as the average photographer. My motto is: "I'm a perfectionist, but not very good at it!"
