anyone moved to the 100mm L Macro from the standard edition - any difference in performance.

I usually focus manually so speed of focus not going to be much of a benefit.

If you need IS, then yes. Or if you just want the best of the best, then yes. Otherwise the normal macro still has amazing iQ.

I think the bokeh might look smoother on the L with rounded aperture blades.

I just changed over from the standard 100mm macro to the 100mm IS L macro and I think the IQ is better on the L lens. If you have the extra money for the L lens then go for it, otherwise the regular 100mm macro lens is still a great lens.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick
