So I got a new toy this morning, and then played with it as soon as I got home. I’ve been eyeing out the 100mm f2.8L Macro for quite some time, and with the 2 weddings coming up this weekend I decided that I needed it actually for the detail photos
I went to my favourite local camera shop this morning, Digital Experience, to get it after uhming and aahing for weeks… and thankfully they had one left in stock!! These good L lenses are becoming quite scarce now, because of the Japan issue, so I decided that today was the day… knowing that they’ll be completely unobtainable soon… well, apparently for the next 6 months anyway.
Oh and I had so much fun with it! I used to love using the Macro function on my point and shoot when I started my first 365 project, and it’s one thing that you just cannot get properly right with a DSLR without a proper Macro lens.







YEAH!!! So glad you got it, one of my favorite lenses in my bag
Nice. Now I want one too.
I, of course am very jealous… Nice work, great piece of glass. Enjoy it!
Wow – amazing photos!
Looks like we’re jumping into this macro-thing at the same time…love your shots!
Wow what stunning pics.. I LOVE detail pictures.. enjoy your new lense.. I will have to wait a bit
Wow.. What stunning pictures.. I LOVE detail photos.. Enjoy your new lense.. very jealous
I’m turning a bright shade of green right now!!! I would LOVE a macro lens….these are stunning photo’s Jeanette. Could you mail me and tell me how much this set you back? Maybe if I start saving now I could afford one in 2012
Oh wow!!!! I have wanted one for ages and yes, you are right, the macro function on the DSLR isnt “quite” macro is it?
Have fun!
Stunning stuff. I love my 100mm macro, but mine isn’t an L series. envious.
Wow…so stunning.
Wow…so stunning!
