Macro Photography

[knighthawk 10]

One reason I went for a 180mm over the alternative (90mm). As one of my main subjects was to be my spiders + scorpions I didn't want my face too close to them

I can see where you are coming from pal..I use a Tamron SP90 for most of my macro shots but at time I wish I had a little more distance as the Lizards never stay still

I know that this is an old thread but I notice that Grissom recommended the Canon 100mm f2.8, if you see this Grissom is it the USM version.

Just been looking at a used non USM, do you still rate it.

Or has anybody else used this lense.

Hiii,

 

Macro is my favorite type of photography, Although I don't have any specialist equipment only a cheapish converter lens seems to work well enough for me and gets good results take a look

I have the 100m macro f2.8 and it is USM. Very good lens for non-L (there is an L version, but it's quite a bit more on top).
