Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book I compare the Canon EFS 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM to the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens. Why am I comparing these two lenses? Because I own both and wanted to see which lens produced the better results. Sure, I could say that the more expensive lens produces the best results, but is that accurate? Does that opinion match the data in a side-by-side comparison. Since my telephoto lens also takes photos at 100mm, which is the better choice if you have to choose between one or the other? When out photographing insects at a local botanical garden or on trails, I like to use my macro lens. It is awesome for close-up photography and showing details. However, I can't take any wide-angle shots of outdoor scenery or zoom on deer that happen to appear nearby or birds that land on a branch or a raccoon that wanders toward the creek. And it has an incredible motor inside that makes noise. Yep, it never shuts up. So, get used to the noise if you buy this lens. I like my telephoto lens because it can be used in a variety of scenes (not just searching for bugs), and I don't have to get so close to insects to get their photo. I can take a photo of an ant on a leaf, and turn around and take a photo of a deer that just walked into a clearing. It's cheaper and quite versatile. But can its images of spiders or dragonflies match those of the macro lens? Well, look on the cover. Can you tell which one was taken by the macro lens (more expensive) and which was taken by the telephoto (cheaper) lens? I doubt it. For most images, I don't think that you'll find much of a difference, but don't take my word for it. Look through this book and decide for yourself.
