Probably an oldie but goldie, but here goes: I used to have a 100 mm macro lens for my Contax system and am considering getting something similar for my 10D. I'm somewhat torn between the 100/2.8 macro and the 180/3.5 macro. I'm aware of the obvious tradeoff regarding price. ------------------------------------------------------- Hi Tom, Regarding price... Last week's "Amateur Photographer" compared the three 180mm macro lenses (Canon EF, Sigma & Tamron) for the EF fitting. There was a very slight tilt towards the Tamron 180 as giving slightly more contrasty results at the lower spacial frequencies (it's a newer designed lens), and cost wise it's a lot less than what Canon ask for their 180.
