    Excellent start with the new lens - think macro lenses put many canon L lenses to shame :)

    Congratulations on the new Lesn MisterMcCruff clap.gif
    Yep that Canon 100mm f/2.8 is one sweet lens.

    Beautiful examples of it's capabilities you've shared with us too.

    The other nice thing about the Canon 100 is that you are not restricted to using it just for MACRO use.

    Lovely work clap.gif .... Skippy :D

    Too true Skippy! Takes lovely wildlife and portrait shots too.


    A little update for you magnification enthusiasts!

    A new addition to my weapon:

    Granted it's not the most exciting picture but there are very few things around the office that are of any interest at all and I think this has a nice abstract quality to it!
