Canon 180mm Lens

King of the Canon Macro Lenses, the 180mm macro was for a long time the only L series macro option. The 100mm L Macro was then introduced to join the party. This 180mm is used by enthusiast that want extra space between the lens and the subject so that they are able to light the subject and not wide out the aperture so as to introduce the problem of short depth of field.

If you are looking seriously at buying the 180mm option then it is unlikely that you would consider the 100mm for many reasons including those listed above. Having said that, it doesn't hurt to put the rest of the Canon macro lens range in front of you just be to sure that you have considered all of the options.
