There's also the fact that the EF-S 60 is a much newer design than the non-L 100.....
Aye, they'd need a pretty wee test chart to do a worth while chart for macro right enough

As for the newer lens being better.....I thought that about the Nikkor 105mm with VR. It was much newer and a fair bit dearer than my Canon 100mm but I was dissapointed when I tried it. The VR was a waste of time for anything approaching macro (Nikon only claim it works down to 3m) and it wasn't as sharp on a tripod so I gave it a miss.

Wouldn't mind a go with the 100mm L but i'm far more interested in a TS-E 90mm on extension tubes at the moment
