Which Macro lens do you use?

[Guest]

I thought it might be useful for people looking into macro to see what lenses people are using as well as finding out for myself!

I have only included the most common lenses with a ful 1:1 ratio or above. However, if i have missed any let me know and I shall endeavour to add them to the list!!

Hi Rob I use the EF 180 and the MP-E65 which isn't on your list.

This I thought also, which I was my excuse for not including this one too!

" I thought the 50 was only 1:1 with tubes"........with the cumstom life-size extender!
Makes a nice light weight combination if you are going up a mountain.

What's the penalty for a wrong vote?

I obviously hit the wrong key because, much as I would like it to be so, I don't have the L version of the 100 - f2.8 - just the common or garden variety. Who knows how to fix the figures?

You've also missed out possibly the best macro lens on the market - Tamron 90 :tongue::tongue:

We old people also use Canon 50mm F/2.5 plus on a copy stand.

Re: Which Macro lens do you use?

I use the EF-S 60mm with either/both a EF12 or 25 extension tube.

Re: Which Macro lens do you use?

I too use the Tamron 90mm and would rate it above the Sigma 105mm, I also have a very new 1.4 Tamron teleconveter for use with it, not available yet in this country I believe, but I could be wrong.
I will be interested, if the new L series 100mm is worth the money?
