Hey! Long time. There is a neat photoshop trick to get around the detail problem that I talked about in the last post. More on that later though.
Today's subject is my new lens :D. The 100mm macro from Canon. I have a 18-55 kit lens and a 50mm f1.8. I wanted to get some telephoto range and also wanted a macro lens.
I looked at the 100mm macro, the 75-300mm USM and the 75-300 USM IS. Frankly speaking the zoom lenses are extremely disappointing. For $500+ the lens has a very bad zoom rotation. These lenses NEED image stabalization by the way. The difference is about $350! But if you are planning to do any wildlife / lowlight photography you just can do it with these lenses. Even the IS only gives marginally better results.
The image stablized 70-300 + the 100mm macro were way over my budget because I needed a bag as well. So I decided to get just the 100mm and a "KATA" sack. If you are looking to buy a camera sack which can also hold your laptop, I strongly suggest these bags. Lowpro is insanely over-priced.
