Macro lens suggestion

[ghosh]

Hi,
After buying 70-200 F4 L, now I am looking for a macro. Please advice me which one will be good. Budget? well I can spend about 300 pounds.

I was thinking of EF100 2.8

Thanks.

I highly recommend the Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens! It is very nice! Be sure to get the lens hood with it.

If the 100mm macro by Canon fits your budget, it's a good lens. Most macros are great optically. Canon's macros, although they are more expensive than third party lenses, do not extend out as they focus, which is a nice feature.

But Sigma, Tokina, and Tamron all make excellent macros. I'd let focal length, price, and features and not optics guide on what you get.

it all depends how far away from the subject you are I use a 50 macro now I want a 185L macro

ghosh,
The Canon 100mm f/2.8 is my favorite :)
Also many others seem to choose the Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro as you can see here in the -=TOP TEN=- Which macro lens do you use? <-- click to see (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=160960)
