Macro Lens for the Canon 300D


Until recently I used a 35mm Yashica Dental Eye for clinical and nature photography. Now my job requires more medical clinical macro work, so I am making the transition to digital with the Canon 300D, but need advice on the best macro lens for the job. The Dental Eye had a 100mm lens, so I was wondering if it as simple as replicating that lens or should I be taking more into consideration

  With respect to macro, the 1.6x crop factor of the smaller digital sensor is not relevant. Close-focus working distance and image magnification are unchanged. So the usual suspects would be the Canon EF 100 f/2.8 USM Macro, Tamron 90 f/2.8 Macro, and Sigma 105 f/2.8 EX Macro.
