thats super sharp and awesome, still a little pricey though

I bought the lens used, £300ish 3 years ago, now there's an OS version so the older lens are now cheap. The Raynox 250, again bought used £30. For £200 you'd probably get both. Way cheaper than either Canon versions ( which are the best by the way, but studio lighting will help you get pin sharp shots ) and gives you a healthy deposit on your zoom.

To be honest, any true 1/1 macro will give you the results you want, they're all sharp and great lighting will be your best friend..........

That's pricey? You casually posted that you might just go with the Canon 100mm L which costs significantly more...
