Help me choose

I want to get a macro lens to pair with my 7d markII but can't decide which of the three to get...they all have great reviews and the price is not the issue so of the three canon lens which is the best bang for the buck for image quality? EF-S 60mm,EF 100 or the EF-100L

Don't forget the 24-70 f/4, it is a very versatile lens if you want a walk around that can also do macro pretty well.

Can't comment on the Canon's, but I have the Sigma 150mm F2.8 macro and it works flawlessly with the 7DmkII. Used it for nature macro's as well as studio portraits.

I would like to keep the speed up at 2.8

Does it feel to long at times?

Depends on how much working distance you need, and (obviously I guess) whether you need IS. Only you can decide these things.

The 100L is my favorite lens right now.

Occasionally yes, never for macro's but it does for portraits.

I use it with a set of extension tubes to get closer for nature shots but they are too fiddly for portraits most of the time... they get you too close.

Any of the 100s are a great choice.

The 100L is the one I keep going back to. I was kind of hoping someone would talk me out of it I am wanting to use it in the woods for shooting closeups of fungus and other things of nature along with insects and the occasional production shots

It will Do great for that. Then you'll have to pony up for a macro flash. It just never ends.

This hobby as a whole never ends

This struck me as a weird post at first, recommending a FF zoom as a macro on a crop, but this lens actually is pretty versatile and will do macro up to 0.7X.

However, the working distance when shooting macro is very short, so doing macro with this lens would IMO be only in emergencies.

Best to stick with real macro lenses, and the 100mm ones are probably the wisest choices if specifics about subjects and conditions are lacking. (Yes, those 100s are also FF.)

Heya,

Then get a flash, regardless of the lens. Fungus doesn't grow in the bright sun. It's always in dark, damp places. Places where natural light is scarce. And all the IS in the world, will not help, at macro-range for a dark shot. Super high ISO to make up for it will take away from the detail of such small bits. F2.8 won't be enough, not even close. And you won't have enough DOF to see much of the fungus at F2.8 and close distnace.

So, get a flash and mix ambient & diffused flash light.

Any macro lens will do fine.

Very best,
