Hello everybody! 
I have a question about macro photography with a Canon DSLR such as the 60D (Future upgrade) given the two lenses to choose from: Canon EF-S 60mm macro or the Canon EF 100mm macro?
I won't be upgrading to a Full-Frame camera anywhere soon.
Thinking of the 1:1 magnification ratio and the focal length of both lenses I thought that a 100mm would get a HUGE magnification in close-up shots, but 1:1 ratio on both lenses means that both get the same magnified image?
If I shot an ant with 60mm 1:1 would it be the same as 100mm 1:1 ?
If so, then why do people buy the EF 100mm more than they buy the EF-S 60mm as it has a lesser focal length which means a LARGER depth of field which should be GOOD for macro photography.?
or
Still not sure!
What about lens sharpness?
I heard that the 100mm because it is an EF mount lens, Has a better sharpness in the corners if used in an APS-C sensor as it will only see through the best part of the lens which is the middle?
what should I do?
I Totally have no idea!

Would appreciate some help!
