Well I have recently shifted to doing macro photography and have discovered an unknown and unexpected interest in it. So along with the other big update of this year (that being a 70-200f2.8 L) I am now seeing if I might be able to budget for a really good macro lens (if not this year then next). I have had a look about and the canon 100mm f2.8 macro seems to be getting good reviews and is being recommended by many. Partially as it has a good working distance for living subjects so you don't have to worry as much about disturbing them
Now would it be a good idea for me to go for a canon 100mm f2.8macro? Are there any other lenses which people would recommend?
Also whilst I accept that lighting is very key with macro and that that thing on my camera that pops-up is really no good I simply don't think I will be able to get hold of the funds for a good lighting set-up to go with the lens for the moment (so I will have to hope for bright sunny skies)
