Canon EOS 5D - 100mm macro lens- iso 100 - 1/1000th @F7.1

Street scene from a recent visit to Cambodia

Shot from my hotel balcony

I think my title would have been, "Now where did I drop my contact lens?"

Nice shot.

Perhaps a little judicious cropping needed to loose the rubbish on the ground?

A pity the tiles do not cover the whole area.

Rather an odd photo for a Macro lens?

The 100mm macro's prime function is certainly that of a macro lens but it functions perfectly as a normal 100mm lens and is a LOT sharper. I use it extensively for portraits and street candid

Sarper than EF100mm F2?

Nice shot btw. I'm always amazed how you manage to bring out so much detail at such a high contrast, something that's not easy to have it both ways.

I haven't used an 100 F2 but I seem to have read somewhere that the macro is the sharp lens.

Anyway talking about contrast and detail I took this tonight, just as a snap shot and was quite impressed at the camera/lens ability to render shadow detail and hold hightlights. No flash used just available light.
