    Voigtlander 125mm f/2.5 Apo-Lanthar Macro SL II

    Thank you for your input. It seems that even if Cosina decides to start production of 125mm APO-lanthar, it will be priced similar to CZ 100 2.0 MP. :dunno:

    Voigtlander 125mm f/2.5 Apo-Lanthar Macro SL II

    Hi all, may be I'm alone, but I consider Voigtlander 125mm f/2.5 Apo-Lanthar Macro the best macro lens ever made. Or may be it is even the best short telephoto ener made. It is very sharp over entire frame even wide open, has absolutely no CA (the lens has true apochromatic design) and has...

    Which prime lens ?

    If you considering 35 or 50mm lens, I suggest that you try Carl Zeiss Distagon 35 2.0 ZE or Planar 50 1.4 ZE or 50mm macro Planar. If you don't mind manual focusing, they produce outstanding results.

    Canon EF 100 f/2.8L Macro IS USM

    Yes it will work with extension tubes perfectly, id does not accept Canon TC-s, but you can use tubes. You can get Canon 250D or 500D if you manage to find it in 67mm size. I used 250D 58mm on my old non IS macro USM with great success. You can have a look at my field review of this lens here...

    60D or 7D

    Canon 7D is weather sealed, I use my in a harsh weather conditions sometimes. But you need weather sealed lenses to use it that way. You should get 7D over 60D if you need tough body with better AF and viewfinder. IQ is the same. If you plan to shoot video swivel screen of 60D may be handy...

    Canon 17-40mm L f4

    I have this lens for a long time. It is very good performer, has very fast AF, it is well build and weather sealed. You can read my experience with the lens here: http://www.alexsukonkin.com/reviews/Canon-EF17-40f4-L-USM_en.html If you don't need very fast AF and weather sealing Tamron...

    My Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens review

    I'm using Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens for about a year now, after I upgraded from the original macro USM. The difference in image quality is noticeable, but subtle, but improved AF performance and IS gives more opportunities. I'm very happy with the results and want to share my...
