Macro lenses

[RealCaster]

It's better than handheld. Tripod still the best for 1:1. Otherwise use flash. ;p

commpletely agree, with VR at 1:1, there is a 50% chance I can get sharp image with hand held , without VR even at 1:3 it is impossible to get sharp image for me at 1/30... I guess I have very shaky hand. cheers.

VR have help me me tremendously with handheld macro.....

ah is see.

so the VR does help in a 1:1 situation as opposed to one w/o VR.

thanks

Hi, I just bought a Canon EF 100mm f2/8 Macro lens last month and I love the lens for my EOS 400D. The price was S$750 without GST.

This lens is good for shooting portrait as well. But, I haven shoot
any macro until I get a tripod. And, if you are interested, you may see the portrait photo taken by this lens @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/15027960@N00/tags/canonef100mmf28macrousm/

Shoot them at Singapore Bird Park, Zoo and Orchard.

Canon lenses cannot be mounted on Nikon but there are adapters to mount Nikon lenses on Canon EOS bodies... so buy more Nikkor lenses!
