Canon EF 100mm f2.8 Macro USM Query

[Sejeeee]

Alright, so I was told a while back that a 100mm prime would be good for shots like these...





See now I'm pretty sure that a macro lense will be able to do these kind of captures, plus the bonus of shooting macro (which has always fascinated me).
So I was just wondering if somebody could make sure that it will be able to do the job.

Thanks.

Just because it's a macro lens doesnt mean it cant be used for other things. It'll work fine for general shooting as a 100mm f/2.8 prime.

For the subject matter at hand, though, not likely: because it's a macro lens the AF system is slow but precise: it'll be soo slow for tracking your subject, I suspect.

I think that someone could be you - it looks like it's worked fine :-)

I did the same as you - this is a shot from my 100mm f/2.8 Canon Macro

Thanks guys, was just making sure it would work like a normal prime
I think I'll grab one and test it out.

Please report back your test results, I was considering getting one of these down the line and interested as well.

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing in2fx!
Awesome shots and makes my decision that much easier!
And Glenn I'm not sure when I'll be getting it but I'll be sure to post some shots with it and let you know
