Am very keen to play with that Canon MP-E 65mm... I know Karl would love one. Wish Nikon would make something the same!

Hi Guys
Thanks for the replies and your reviews. Appreciated. I think I'll have to go for the Canon 100mm but now I'll have to decide IS or non IS. When I've done close-up work (not macro) in the past I've usually used my tripod so IS may not be an issue. But then with the IS some hand held may be possible.....!!!! Oh dear choices, choices, choices.

Both of the examples I posted earlier were handheld (and I have not got the steadiest of hands) so not having IS does not preclude the use of handheld shots

I've got the Canon 60mm F2.8 and the Canon 100mm IS F2.8 - both are good lenses. I can hand hold the 60mm to take a decent picture - it also makes a good portrait lens. The 100mm IS is amazing and I love mine, I'm not sure it was worth the extra expense though.
I would try and have a play with a few lenses if you can, the Tamron macro always seems to get good reviews.
If you were near me then you could come and try mine out

Greenie, just noticed you are in Norfolk - are you near me, Diss?
If you are then you are very welcome to try both my lenses.
