Hey everyone,
I'm thinking about getting a new lens and have been considering a 100mm macro 2.8 Canon to go with my canon XS. I would like to take macro shots, but this is going to be my only lens other then the kit 18-55. I want to be able to use the lens for other things too like shooting outdoors, sport events, and other things that a most people would use their SLR for. Am I going to regret getting the 100mm macro? I can not afford to get the IS version of the lens so I'm concerned that this lens isnt going to be great for 'everyday' type shooting. I know tamron makes some zoom 'macro' lenses that dont do 1:1 but would I better off getting something like this rather then the canon 100mm?
Thanks for the input and advice.
Brian
