I am kicking around the idea of a Macro lens. Looking at Canon 100m 2.8 also Tamron 90m 2.8. Been reading reviews for weeks. Anyone used either?
I will be using it on Canon 30D & 50D cameras and will probably end up taking mostly portraits. Altho, I will be doing some Macro. I have lenses that go mac, but do want a Mac only! thanks
Hi SENSORLOUPE: I recently purchased a used Canon 100 2.8 USM Macro lens for $375 . I love it, I have been practicing shooting macro pictures with it. I posted one on UHH a few days ago of a spider. The results were OK but I'm still learning. The lens classified as a true macro, meaning it will shoot at 1:1 or life size. However it is also able to shoot at infinity. Canon actually manufactures three different 100 macro lenses. One like I purchased with usm, one with both usm and IS and one with out either. Hope this helps.
