100mm f2.8 L IS Macro!!

[Mark Elberson]

Wow! I'm shocked by how much the price of the classic macro has gone up. I paid $400 or so new, IIRC.

$599.95 at B&amp;H! I'm going to start referring to my lens collection as my "portfolio" []

Man... IS....


That's the only thing I wish I had on my 180mm macro...


The thought of trading in is tempting....


I like reach and working distance, but....


I like not being so dependent on a tripod too...


can't have both... can't have both... poop.

[Daniel Browning]

Oh, sweet. I'm getting this one for sure. I doubt the iq will be better than the old 100 macro, but it doesn't have to be. The IS alone makes it worth it to me.

In his new page on the I.S. macro, Bryan pointed out that the MTF chart has improved considerably:








The 30 lp/mm lines jumped 20-30%.

[Keith B]

Definitely on my wish list.

Well the next macro update from canon is rumored to take the 180mm macro and push it to 200 like nikon has and add IS to it. /grainofsalt

[Benjamin]

Haha, sub zero! i think i'll buy not because i need it too much for my actual photo work but just because i want something to use as a microscope![8-|]
