Canon Macro Lenses. What are you using?
 
I have a Canon EOS D30 with only the standard included lens and I have been looking at some of the fine macro lenses available. What are you using?

100mm f2.8

IMO the higher the focal length the better.

Interesting. I am still learning but I would have thought a shorter focal length would result in a larger image as in you are closer to the subject, povided you can get close that is.

all macros allow you to go 1:1 so the focal length just determines how far you can be in order to achieve that 1:1 ratio. I use a 150mm f2.8 by Sigma

Very nice!

I wanted that lens sooooo desperately! I'm still kicking myself for being impatient and purchasing the one I did.

My lens is perfectly good . . . but I love the IS lenses.
