Yeah it was on the front page of the herald. My son is in the top right hand corner of the picture in the blue shirt (honest, you can see him better in some of the other in the series that were in the herald) He thought irt was cool to be on the front page of the paper! Unfortunately I was around the corner taking photos near the hairpin - just across the track from Wazza, Kirst, Duncan, and a few others so missed the crash.

Does anyone here have a Canon 100mm Macro lens?

I had a play with Scotts old EF-S 60mm but as the 5D only takes EF mount.

I thought that the 100mm would go well with my other 2 primes.

I find it very sharp. that's one of things that I noticed on the first day that I got it. even at 2.8 it's a nice and sharp.

Is yours the USM/autofocus model or the older one. Found out the Canon twin flash units fit on with no issues, dont need an adapter.

Macro is my last bit of glass :lol:

$ 469.95 USD from B&H Thats the USM and Autofocus one

I have the EF 100mm Macro USM II, and yes, it is sharp with good colour. There is some chromatic abberation, but this can be fixed with DxO or PTLens tools. It is often used as a portrait lens - on film cameras. I found that when I tried it at a wedding, I found that the framing produced by the 1.6 crop took me too far back - I lost personal contact with the subject and that wrecked many shots. So I bought the EF-S 60mm Macro. It fixed the contact issue in portrait work, but is usually too close for macro work, especially small animals. Plants don't take fright. Toadstool-type fungi also are better captured with the 60mm than the 100mm, but in a light tent, the 60 is too far inside the tent for working with it. So instead of selling the 100 Macro, I am pleased that I kept both for my 20D and 30D.

When I used Tim's 100mm, I was very pleased with the DOF, Colour and sharpness.
I find the 85mm lens, quite similar in fact, apart from being able to get as close
