Does anybody own either lens I?m looking to get a macro but I?m not sure what to get.

I?d like to be able to use it for light box work the extra reach of the 100mm is probably not needed but I?m still open to either lens.

Suggestions welcome

I had the same problem a while ago and after some searching on google i stumbled onto the following site with a pretty nice review of both lenses

60mm: http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/60mm-macro.htm and 100mm: http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/100mm-macro.htm

After reading both reviews i decided to go with the 100mm lens.

im not a canon guy, but I will tell you this...the 100 will allow you to be further away from your subjects, so better for insect photography and stuff, but the 60 (I have the nikon 60mm macro) works beautifully for flowers and other objects.

Exactly! ?That is why I enjoy more shooting with a 105mm over ?a 60mm

My friend is looking at getting a new camera setup, and I told him not to get the 60 mm because it is sub-frame...

But then I found a VERY expensive but beautiful lens...

    • Remarkably based article from Garter - apparently there IS someone working there that actually understands mainframe systems.
    • Calling it TDS doesn’t answer the question: why did this site skip prior UFC games but review this one, at this exact political moment?
    • Its the timing of its release, mixed with the timing of the review mixed with the timing of the event, when this site never reviewed previous iterations of this game that I could find.
    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
