I have the 100mm f/2.8 macro and it is a great lens.  Very sharp.  Mine is the
version before the 100mm f/2.8 USM so the focus isn't very fast by comparison.
But then, I usually use MF when shooting with it.

I have never shot hands and feet, just bugs and flowers.  I wonder if you will
need the macro for your shooting.  If the subjects are side by side and you
want the entire hand of the parent I think you won't be doing a lot of macro
work.

Everybody has a photographic memory.  Some just don't have any film.
