I have the standard 75-300mm usm lens and think it is great for butterflies and dragonflies. For photographing flowers though I do think that maybe the 100mm macro would be a great lens to have.
I have just bought the sigma 170-500mm apo dg cos i got fed up of waiting for the canon 400mm f5.6 but am still considering buying the 400mm because I love the sharpness of this lens even though I have been impressed with the sharpness of the sigma. Maybe I should scrap the idea of the 400 and go for the 100mm f/2.8 macro lens instead?
