    Wow, Denise, I really love the first shot of the leaf cluster. They really stand out from the background!

    Crud! I forgot to check the Canon Direct Store for my purchase. Just found this lens there for $130 LESS than what I paid at B&H, with a longer warranty. B&H doesn

    Not all prices are great at the Canon store, but when they want to, they crush everyone. Good catch and enjoy the lens.
    Words get in the way of what I meant to say.

    Very exciting times waiting for that lens to land on your doorstep. Good luck and have fun.


    On a similar kind of note, have anyone of the people suggesting the 100L macro shot with the non L 100mm Macro. I have that lens and have been trying to decide if it is worth the upgrade to get the new L. I see from Bryan

    So here is one of my first shots with the lens. I just couldn't resist getting a shot of my eyeball.


    Maybe it grosses you out. Maybe you think it's cool. Maybe you think need more sleep! (Bloodshot!!!) Maybe this is more intimate than any of you ever wanted to get with me.


    Anyway, this was handheld with my 430 EXII, f/3.5, 1/125s, ISO400. It has been cropped a little bit.

    I am going to have so much fun with this lens!

    Congrats! I got mine in February.. one of my first shots being an eyeball as well. HA.


    Mostly mine has been used for portraits.. and then the other day I saw a couple of ants on my kitchen counter. First time in my life I have been excited to see that. The lighting was horrible so my shutter speeds were way too slow.. but it was possible because of the awesome IS. Little guy was thirsty.

    Subject Distance: 290 mm (11.41 inches)





    Congrats again, and if you're like me right now.. I'm way excited for things to start sprouting and insects to start crawling.

    I was all excited about the $130 savings, and checked Canon Direct, but their price is currently exactly the same as B&H. Did Canon's price go back up or did B&H reduce theirs? Both are currently $1049.00 exactly.
