Macro lens

[cruncher75]

May seem like a silly question but does a macro lens just do macro or can you use it as a walk around lens looking at the canon 105 macro

 

[Wozzaaah]

I seem to recall that very question was asked on here only a week or so ago and the answer was that it performs as a normal 105mm telephoto lens but with the added advantage of being able to do 1:1 macro.

I bought the 60mm Nikon 1:1 Micro lens just for Macro work, but its such a sharp lens it's been on the camera ever since for all sorts of photography.

I use my 100 2.8 L macro for portrait photos too. It's a great lens and very sharp for portraits but sadly your feet have to do the zooming. I even used mine for a low flying helicopter when it came over the house recently.
