I am not really interested in insect shots, but do a lot of flower work, and looking at expanding into other macro work. I take a lot of wildflower shots out in the bush and don't always want to be laying on the ground! Could you tell me what lens would be most suitable.
thanks.

Jill,
The minimum focusing distance on the 100mm f/2.8 is 12 inches. You can absolutely fill the frame with it. Here is one of the shots I got with mine:
Now, the thing to take note of is that the flower was only about 1 inch in diameter. So, hopefully that answers your question.
