p.1 #1 · Ring shot lens

Hey I'm just curious what everyone uses for their close up ring shots? I use a Canon 100 2.8 (don't have any pics on me though

). Does anyone use anything else, say a 50, 65, or 180 or extension tubes?? Please post your photos as I'm just curious to see the results

-Good day ya'll

I use the 100/2.8 macro and find it just about perfect in terms of subject distance and optical performance.

I'm sure you realize there are *three* Sigma macros with an F2.8 aperture

I use a 60mm macro. Note: It's an EF-S lens. Crop only. Magic on a 40D.

If you have a crop camera, the EF-S 60/2.8 macro is killer.

I don't have any crop cameras anymore, so I just use some Kenko tooobz (usually the 22mm on 85 or 135).
