60 macro and 105 macro Lens

frankielim · 20th July 2006

Hi guys

I can observe that most of the Underwater DSLR user will either carry 60 macro or 105 macro .

Which type of lens is actually better ?

60 and 105 assumes a Nikon user. Canon users would be more like 50 and 100. Should be similar to the 60/105 debate, I think.

Both 60 and 105 give you 1 : 1 but with a different working distance.

Both serve different purpose and you cant really say which is better.

Most serious u/w photograher has both lens. But if you are to start off with one, the 60 is the first to get.

I just start using DSLR underwater with Canon

consider

EF S60mm f/2.8 Marco USM

or

EF100mm f/2.8 Marco USM

after go through 60mm will be a good start for me

who want to sell their 60mm f/2.8 lens (anybrand will do for me) please PM me .

Thanks

I started using the 50/2.5 for about a year and then bought the 100/2.8 to complement my set-up. They both gave very good results, but it all depends also on the subjects available and your desired perspective.
