Which Canon macro lens?
Hi Folks,
It's about time I got a decent macro lens, so I need your opinions.
I know the Sigma's are good, but I would rather stay with Canon lenses.
So, to choose from there are:
EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro (actually half-a-macro, but superb optics)
EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro
EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro
Now I think the 50mm and 60mm are probably a bit too short, requiring me to get closer to some critters than I (or they) would be comfortable with.
The 100mm (Classic) seems to be the standard.
The new 100mm L-Series, well, it's got the new fancy Hybrid IS.
The 180mm is L-Series, and you get to stay a long way away from your subject, which I suspect is nice.
So, 100mm or 180mm? If 100, the old or the new? What are your thoughts.
Cheers,
Jason.
P.S. If you must throw the Sigma 105 or 150 in to the mix, feel free, I could be swayed......
