I'm interested in trying Macro and will be hiring this lens. Will i see much benefit in the IS version or is that not really much use in Macro. Sorry for my ignorance but i'm totally green when it comes to Macro photography :shrug:
 
The IS on that macro is actually very good, and is very usefull in macro work. It works very well up to 1:2, and still helps at 1:1.

Just do it, still one of the best lenses I have ever owned and used. Far superior to the Nikon 105 VR.
 
+1 on the IS on that lens. And even better on the 7D as the 7D has a macro servo focus mode... Have to say the 100mm L macro is my favourite lens....
 
Good choice. The 2 focus limiters are brilliant too. Stick it on the camera and you'll never want to take it off.oh and despite what some say as to being too Sharp for portraits I have used it for some and its great for them too as well as a medium telephoto on a crop.

It's a great portrait lens too, if you can get far enough back. The IS is really useful in this scenario too.
