I am going to a winery this weekend to take some pics of the grapes on the vine. I had originally planned on taking my 85mm and 135mm. Would using the 100mm macro give some 'better' shots? I am not that familiar with macro, so any help would be appreciated. A friend has the 100mm macro, and will loan it to me if needed. thanks. Nick

Yes, I would think that the 100 mm macro could be very helpful for shooting grapes on the vine.

#Rick R. I am not a wine drinker, however, the grapes tasted strong. The owner said that the wine from this years's grapes wil be very good, due to the lack of rain and lots of sun. I will look at the shots from today and post when I have a chance.
