Ayash,
I have a A100/2.8 Macro which is just great.
It goes 1:1, but I rarely use it that way.
I took a butterfly at 1:1 last week.
It looks like a monster!...bug eyes & hairy feet.
More important, you should think about your working distance.
A 50mm Macro works very close to the subject...like postage stamps.
A 100mm Macro is more comfortable for me...usually 6-15 inches away.
I would like to own a 200mm Macro to get even farther away.

The macro photos of flowers and insects are outstanding.
(The bird photos aren't too bad either!)
Regards, Bob S.

aside in the corner of my darkroom and allow the dust to settle on
it. It is time for the macro lens to come in action, but of what macro
magnification, 1:1 or 1:2? I have to figure it out. It depends on the kind
of macro work the photographer is interested in. >>
