What about a EF 24-105 f/4 ISL (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=142974) with a reverse ring ?
Is it gonna work ?

Im trying to find a way to not buy the 100 mm and have something equal or better then that lense.

What can i do like macro with a EF 24-105 f/4 ISL (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=142974) ? If it possible...
i was thinking to do that with :
General Brand 58mm Macro Coupler - For Mounting Two Lenses of 58mm Face to Face

See http://www.flickr.com/groups/macroviewers/discuss/72157594536861701/
might give you some ideas.
But whatever you do It will either not be optically as good or as easy to use as a real macro lens although you may be able to get higher magnifications than 1:1.

St-Craft,
You will not equal or better then a Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens with a zoom lens (not stupid idea, more like unrealistic dream). You might want to try extension tubes or a 500D filter but it will not equal or be better then the macro prime.
The 100mm f/2.8 will be sharper and let more light in then your L zoom even in normal conditions like portraits etc... and its alot cheaper then the L zoom. :)

What the difference between Extender and Extension tube ?
i heard i couldn't fit the 2x II Extender EF - Autofocus

So i might be able to put Kenko kit extension tube to get higher magnification right ?
But if i do that, i have less light comming in the lense right ?

St-Craft,
A Canon extender is a teleconverter, click here for more info on teleconverters (http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=41922)
An extension tube has no glass and moves the lens further away from the camera, click here for more info (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extension_tube)
You loose some light with both.
