Ive have used the L Macro... could anyone speculate or comment on how the Nikon macro performs compared with the Canon?
Similar IQ?

I used to have a 12 gallon but then had kids and didn't have time to take care of it. I'd love to set up another one and take photos of it 70D | 18-35 Art | 50 f/1.4 | 85 f/1.8 | 100L

Just trying to go from one SLR to the other and maybe depending on which Lens may be better than the other may persuade my camera choice... < Nikon D7100 -- AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED -- AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G >

Even on this Canon-focused forum, most people say the only real difference between the nonL and L 100mm macro is the IS of the L. IQ is close enough that it isn't worth the extra cost. My junk

gjl711 Wait.. you can't unkill your own kill.  57,730 posts Likes: 4065 Joined Aug 2006 Location: Deep in the heart of Texas More info | Jun 25, 2014 14:22 | #6 I quick peek at DxO seems to show that the two are practically identical. However, if your partnering the 105mm with either the D800 or D600, the extra resolution gets you a lot more fine detail and for macro, detail is everything. Not sure why, but call me JJ.
