Lets see Non-Macro pics with your Macro lens
I am thinking of buying the Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro lens. I am wondering what kind of "non-macro" shots I can get with this lens. With its expense, I want to be able to shoot more than close ups of my tank inhabitants.
Lets see them. Thanks. |

Don't know about Canon bu ti was told the nikon 105 macro is one of the sharpest lenses for portrait that nikon ever produced. I alo read somewhere that it is even too sharop for portraits.

The canon 100mm 2.8 is a fantastic lens, it realy should have an L in it's name. Then again it's better it doesn't to keep the price down.
 This shot was taken with a rebel and I was just learning. It still looks pretty good except for the back ground .

The lens focuses on infinity so you can use it for everyday photography- not just close-ups. Like the Nikon it is extremely sharp and will show every little wrinkle... hence its unpopularity as a portrait lens

I don't have any pics handy, but I have the 100mm f/2.8 and can say that it's a great all around lens and has capabilities well beyond macros. What other lenses do you have?

Here's a quick shot from my macro lens...
Sorry the image is so large - note, no post processing at all.
