canon 100mm 2.0 or 100mm 2.8 macro?

I think some people get confused about the "Macro" tag on this lens. Yes it allows you to move in close for 1:1 macro photography, but it is still a capable tele-prime as well. If you have it set to the full focus range, then it will take a while to focus, but that is why it give you the ability to limit the focus range.

To me, I would rather have the ability to also shoot macro instead of the .8 increase in f-stop. I just think you get more value from the versatility with out losing a whole lot.

FYI.. I have the 100mm f/2.8L Macro, and it is one of my most used lenses and I am not into macro photography all that much.
