Re: does a macro lens make a good portrait lens
On a 1.6x crop sensor body, the Canon 60mm EFs makes a nice portrait lens.

Re: does a macro lens make a good portrait lens
I'm agreeing with Zacker here....great portrait lens, but need some distance.....works great with the Canon ring flash.
No...I don't have any examples....they were accidently deleted....ARG! -TD

Re: does a macro lens make a good portrait lens
I also have the 100mm macro and have used it for portraits many times. It is almost too sharp for some portraits. I agree, 100mm is a bit long with my 30D, but when I've used it for portraits I've been outside. So it wasn't much of an issue.
