hi guys,
i got 600D. now i'm plan to buy macro lens.i don't know which one to buy.i'm not sure that i'm going to buying fullframe camera one day.
so should i buy EFS 60mm macro or going to buy 100mm whatever i buy full frame or not.

If you want to shoot insects... get the 100mm! Greater minimum focusing distance... makes it easier not to frighten the subjects.

If you want flowers... get the 100mm! Easier to add flash or extra light if needed due to the greater minimum focusing distance.

so i don't need to care EF or EFS?right?

That I can't answer... not a Canon shooter! Nikon, and I do shoot a LOT of macro!

The 100L is a fantastic piece of glass. Highly recommended!

Oh no it's a great lens technically. Pix are sharp. It's just that 60mm is not that useful at 1:1 because you have to be so damn close. Fine I guess for tripod but handheld is annoying.
