Macro Lens

[bishwo]

I like macro photography very much. I am doing macro without macro lens, but i am planning to buy Canon EF 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro. I do not know how is its performance. Could anyone share their experience with me?

Thanks

Hi bishwo.

The lens you are looking at is the new macro 100mm lens from Canon. I don't have that lens, but I do have the older (non-L) lens, and it is one of my favorites. I use it for both macro work and portrait work.

Here's an example of a pic I took with this lens:

I've heard that the new L-lens is even better, but I don't have any first-hand experience to judge by. But even if you end up saving yourself a few hundred dollars and get the older lens, you'll still have a nice piece of glass.
