if you use tripod for macro, you might need it...

Ya, I might have to. I have not done any macro photography yet.
You guys know the price for the tripod mount ring 'D'?
Still awaiting my quote from MS and John 316.. cheers

Oops... Type too fast lol ... 1285 I mean ps ps
i just tried this lens..
AF is quite slow for L series
it seems that this lens not really suitable for moving objects...
In case you have not noticed, this is a MACRO lens.
It also appears you have ZERO experience with macro lenses.

friend, 100mmL can be double as protrait lens too and the bokeh is as good as 85mm 1.8, that's the reason why i sold the 85. 85 can be good protrait lens, but can never be macro lens.

disagree! 100L is one of the fastest AF-ing lens i've owned & used. tried on 5D2, 40D, & 550D, all give the same response. for the reference, i have 24-70L, 70-200 2.8L IS, & 100 Macro...

Hi,
I will be a new Canon user and I am not considering the latest L version..I am wondering hows the performance of old EF 100mm 2.8 as compared to the next USM version in terms of macro performance and as a portrait lens.. are there a huge difference in terms of sharpness other then the USM?
I have been using the Nikon AF 105 micro 2.8 for many years and I am still very happy with it despite the new AFS VR being the most advance..I am just a hobbyist
If the older Canon 100mm can match up to the Nikon 105 (which I believe it should, then I will go hunt for one. I will be getting a used 7D..
thanks
