Nope, the 100mm F2.8 is optimized for portrait/distance whereas teh 100mmf4 Macro is optimized for closeup range 1:10 or greater approx. they are not the same thing, they are opposite optimizations. The 100mm f4 Macro will blow away the 100m f2.8 at high magnifications.

I think that an excellent condition macro lens would be worth at least twice that.
