Finally pulled the trigger on a Canon - 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens, I have been wanting one of these for a long time. :bigsmile:.

Are there any tips on this lens? (Canon 50d)
Also if you have this lens or the non IS model macro please post some shots that you have taken.

Any help is greatly appreciated!1smile1

Thanks in advance

Nice! That lens is on my wish list. A buddy of mine has the 60mm macro and its awesome. Its so much easier to get nice shots with it especially compared to the stock lens.

if the 60mm is awesome the 100mm should be nice! You just got me more excited lol.

WOW! Insane pics man. It looks like you have been using that lens for ages. When I break the piggy bank and get a dslr I'm going to have to stop over and get some lessons from you...:wink: I never realized you had a two headed turtle in the store......guess I'm always blinded by all the coral goodies....like a moth to a flame I don't see anything else in the store....lol

LOL two headed Turtle??? That is crazy!
Yes indeed! lol he's very cool.

:bigsmile: THanks!
Very nice! So out of curiousity, is the turtle yours? And if so do its two heads fight over food...:)
The turtle is more of a store pet haha. THis two headed turtle rare compared to others because both heads lead to the same organ, stomach, heart and etc minus the brain lol. As long as 1 head gets food the other head is good. It does occasionally not agree with each other and swim in circles like if you only paddled a canoe on one side. :xd:

Thanks Paul! Lol ill be honest do don't that much about the camera . Canon stuff is just so high quality and easy to use its great for beginners and both the professionals. (Haven't used nikon) I can't believe you have never seen it! It's in the first 55 gallon by the counter lol. I figured you would of seen him on the news last year (WPXI) haha. Have you seen our alligators? lol you can't miss those!
When you get a DSLR I can help ya out :wink:
