Bingo!  Try the same with your 100/2.8 and 100/4 Macros...  Actually, I
first meant that as a joke, but not that I think of it, please take a moment
and try it out.  Please tell us how significant the focal-length difference
is at 1:2, and if you have the time and desire, maybe also at 1:1 (tubes
needed for the 100/4 lens).

Cheers,
