The FF (or FF equivalent) should be 2X or 3X the diameter of the ball.
Example: A 50mm ball and a Rebel or M body calls for a 70 or 100mm marked FL.

So for an 80mm lensball I would need at least a 100mm macro lens? Or would I need over that?

It is an optical glass ball that you photograph through it. Interesting effects.

I use my 70-300 Tamron and it does a beautiful job. I would recommend the 80mm ball which is 3/1/4 in diameter. Have fun with it.

I use a 100mm globe. The lens needs to be able to close-focus, if you want a reasonable sized globe in the final print. I have used a 24~ 70 zoom also an 18~35 zoom.
