# Gave my macro lens a fair spin yesterday
After almost never choosing to take it along with me even since I bought it.
It's actually quite nice.
I always like the big versions best with the macro shots.

# Cheers!
Has gone down very well all over the web, even at work with my mates who look after that little guy; though we can't really use it, given it features caging; which annoyingly for such a lovely shot, is not want we want to draw emphasis upon with the work we do, sort of thing

# Which one just out out of interest?
A macro is something that has long been on the shopping list, I have never seem to get round to actually getting

# I have the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
In my opinion, it is the most difficult lens to get used to. But once you get the hang of it, it produces great shots.

# Ah cool, that site is quite accurate for his reviews IMO
might just take the plunge with this, I tried the 180mm f/3.5 and realized it was simply impossible without a tripod. 2.8 seems nice and tight as well for something that price; sharp handheld?

# Quite sharp. It's even a great lens for portraits, if I have to believe some of my friends who use it more often.

But DoF is so shallow, a mere heartbeat could bring you into the fuzzy spheres.
I did all mine without my tripod, but I have no doubt it would be better to use it in most cases.

# Thanks mate :)
I think I will give this a go, seems quite affordable

# Yeah, mine was an 'impulse buy' too

Friend phoned me at work that they were going to the shop right then, and if I also wanted one, I'd better decide in the next ten minutes ;-)
