I meant more, of course. Sorry...


I'm not sure you need the 180mm... the 100mm macro is great. And if you want to do macros beyond 1x, the 100mm might even work better, since extension tubes should have a greater effect on the shorter focal length. And for more moderate closeups (butterflies, flowers, etc) I find that the 70-200 IS with extension tubes works well (I like IS for this). Of course if I could afford the 180mm, I might feel differently about it


I'm not sure what you mean by exaggerated distance compression of the macro. If you compose the shot the same, you don't get any different distance compression than you do with any other 100mm lens.
