got a hold of someone's 300mm this morning. Going to be putting it to use in a few hours.

I've been wanting one for a while to take pics of shrimp in my aquarium lol ninja re-edit- looks like I can get a 100 non-L for under 300 bucks with the ebay bucks. Might be a sure win, gotta read up on macro lens reviews The 100mm macro is an awesome lens, tack sharp, and, it makes a great portrait lens as well.

Down_Shift wrote in post #16654549 no clue on the 65mm. I know the 60 is efs only. i'll have to check that out too i looked at a sigma 105mm but i dunno if i'm 100% convinced on the sigma stuff.. I have a fisheye which works great. all the reviews on the other lenses seem inconsistent. people either hate it or love it. canon (and zeiss) fanboi. 65mm is where it's at, but requires a bit more patience and skill than the other macro lenses. Pretty versatile with 1-5x magnification. Can get something at 1x...  and then get up much closer....

How you like the 335? Who tuned it? 65mm is where it's at, but requires a bit more patience and skill than the other macro lenses. Pretty versatile with 1-5x magnification.

I do appreciate any macro shot much more now that I've realized that I have no patience nor skill for it! Guys, just made a wireless remote for my most beloved camera out of a cheapo wireless 3G router and Nexus 5! Works like a charm, plain awesome! I wish I could use an 7-10" android tablet instead of a phone though (the display's smallish). Total cost (router + app) - app. $44! The punch line - I got a CamRanger for a iFriend of mine a couple of days ago - the cost - $300! Cheap A ver: http://dslrcontroller.com/guide-wifi_mr3040.php I ver: http://camranger.com/product/297/ The CamRanger app is comparable to DSLRController app, for the price difference I expected some hefty discrepancies! The hardware is the SAME! Now I need some hot Aussie vistas while I shoot out of the shade next to a cocktail bar I've got both; from a limited amount of testing, the CamRanger is a bit more robust. It also offers clients for Android, iPad/iPod/iPhone, Win 7/8 and Mac; the DSLRController only supports Android (but for the difference in price, you can buy an Android tablet and still come out ahead). There's also DSLR Dashboard (again, Android only), which runs with the same MR-3040 router and supports multiple cameras (if you've got multiple MR-3040s) for the cost of the routers. Software's free. Jon
