Hello Erica, There are a bunch of threads already on this subject, you can always search for a topic (macro lens) and read through them. I have the Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens with a Pro-Master ringflash (the store didn't have the Canon MR-14EX). The lens is a 1:1 lens with focusing distance at about 1 foot away. They also just came out with an L lens with IS for shooters that use their macro lens for other type of shooting. I see no reason to upgrade to that lens as mine is sharp and I always use a tripod & manually focus - so I am not shooting fast paced like at weddings, etc.. There are a couple of courses here at BP for macro photography. There is a bit of a learning curve but once you have a few basics down, you can create some great macro images. I have thought about selling mine as I want to get the Canon 180mm L macro lens. Cheers...

I was out playing with a Zeiss Luminar lens, basically a microscope lens mounted on my camera. I am a little closer than 1:1 with the set-up I used. There are a lot of fun things you can do with microscopes. Here is an article on the subject: www.siskinphoto.com/magazine/zpdf/Microscope.pdf. There are a lot of very creative ways to do micro work that don’t rely on proprietary lenses. Thanks...
