The more I shoot with my Canon EF 100 the more I like it.

Good point! I feel the same about my AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 on a DX body (90mm equivalent).

Nice pic, but couldn't do that with my 65mm macro, it is for macro only!

Years ago I thought I made a major discovery when I shot a friend's portrait with my 100mm macro wide open against some supermarket shelves as an experiment with a new lens. The busy background had a lovely blur but her face was tack sharp. When I showed the result to a pro friend he said that everyone used this lens for portraits. Talk about taking the wind out of my sails!

The only problem for portraits is that most women don't like every blemish showing on their portrait shots

You are entirely correct. I use my Nikon 105 f2.8 macro lens sometimes as my everyday walk around lens. It does a superb job especially when I go to the zoo and concentrate on portraits of birds and animals.

I love him! Looks like he's on the starting line, "On your mark, get set, get ready....GO..!"

Now that you said that, he looks more like at the end of the race, in need for a breezer!
