Which you should buy depends upon the sort of macro photography you do.
On film, I've always found the 100mm to be more useful than the 50mm because of the incresed working distance. However, for copying documents the opposite can be true.
The crop factor means that the new 35mm is pretty much like the 50mm on film. The 50mm is like a 75mm and the 100mm is like a 150mm, so there are decisions to be made there.
I'd still go for the 100mm though, and indeed that is what I have done.

Has anyone bought this lens? Or have/know where I can see example pics taken by it? Also, should I buy the 35mm or 100mm?
