Do I REALLY Need Both Lenses?
« on: July 29, 2010, 12:47:39 PM »

Not too long ago I went on a bit of a binge in terms of buying lenses.  My question is this:  I have a Canon 60mm Macro and not too long after that I got the Canon 100mm Macro.  I am by no means a "professional" photographer but when I'm traveling to Costa Rica, besides taking pictures of wildlife I also enjor taking pictures of nice flowers, orchids etc.  So...do I REALLY need both of these lenses?  Thx.

No, but for flowers the 60mm would be fine and is a lot smaller and lighter.  (unless your 100mm is the one with IS, that makes the decision much harder.  I would take just the 100mm IS and leave the 60mm home.)

The 100mm is the one with IS.  Thanks for your input.

I'd take the 100/2.8 IS. There's really nothing that to 60 can do that the 100IS can't do (and do better).
