Which lens


Recommended Posts

<p>I am currently debating on which macro lens to purchase. <br>

I have a few questions.. <br>

I currently have the sigma 18-55mm 2.8 lens which is a great lens. I want to build up my equip. <br>

I have been asked to shoot some jewelry but I would also like to experiment with macro shots and would like this lens for portrait.<br>

So I was thinking of either these two macro lenses: 60mm canon or 100mm canon. <br>

Someone said that the 100mm would NOT be good for portrait but good for insects...<br>

And the 60mm is just as sharp but wouldn't be able to get close enough to insects.. But good for portrait.. <br>

I'm really stuck now.. And just want more opinions.. or feedback to help make a decision.. <br>

Thanks</p>

<p>Which body do you have? On a crop the 60mm is reasonably good for insects but it is short for FF, it does make a good portrait lens too. The 100 would be fine on either and I did not find it too long for portraits on crop. I would go for the 100 personally, that way you cover all bases even if you go to full frame in future.</p>
