Canon 100mm Macro Lens Help?
I want to buy a macro lens for my SLR and am stuck between the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM and Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM. If anyone knows of a website with a comparison or has used both, please tell me what you think. Is it worth spending twice the price for the florite lens and the IS? Thanks, and please dont just give facts about the lenses, but actual experiences. Thanks again.
Normally I would say forget the IS but with macro photography, if you are shooting close up, you frequently will need to have the aperture set to at least f/8 just to get 2-6" in focus. This will bring your shutter speed a little lower and generally I have a little more shake when I am trying to get very close to the subject. You could always use a tripod though. Both are great lenses. This image stabilization makes things a little more convenient.
