<p>Thank you Kerry! "I would not want the Sigma 150 on a crop body, too long." - you are probably right on this one! It didn't cross my mind!<br>

By the way, if I am going for the Canon 100mm f2.8, would you recommend the IS version? Is IS really a big advantage in macro photography to warrant the extra cost compared to the non-IS version?</p>

<p>Thank you Dan and Richard! Your comments are really appreciated. The butterfly shot is excellent!</p>

<p>Thank you Robin and Arie! My primary interests in macro photography are plants and insects. I guess since insects are included in my list, I need to give the focal length a serious consideration and that tends to lower the balance in favor of the Sigma!</p>

 

 

 

<p>Hi all,<br>

I am on the market for a macro lens for my Canon EOS 7D. I have shortlisted the 2 lenses mentioned above. Any recommendations on which one you would have bought and why? I am more interested in image quality and bokeh (if that counts as a valid reason for choosing a macro lens!) than in the focal reach of the lens.<br>

Thanks for your inputs!<br>

Regards,<br>
