Canon macro lenses

[magpie157]

I own the EF-S 60 mm, and it works great on my 40D. Alas, it doesn't fit my 5D Markii. I have been considering getting the 100 mm f2.8 macro, but wonder if I would be better off spending the extra $400 and buying the 100 mm f2.8 IS macro instead. Or maybe I should save my money, and just keep using the 60mm on the 40D. I take mostly flower shots, and an occasional bug if I can get close enough.

There's nothing wrong with your 40, it's still a great camera. If nothing else I would say keep it if for no other reason it would make a great back-up. However, if you have the financial capability, that 100L IS is really nice!!
