The choice of 50,100,or 200 for macro is the same as non-macro, it depends on what angle of view you want. I cant imagine shooting macro only at 200 as it compresses "normal" perspective too much. > TTL > flash vs manual flash, manual flash using an incidence flash meter is better than ttl IMHO, except where it is impossible to know correct exposure compensation in severe magnification shots. > and zooms for general work vs primes.
