Canon 1Ds Mklll. Best copy lens for repro work?

I have no idea what you mean by this. I never wrote which Canon camera I use (the 1Ds Mklll, as it happens) and no one is talking about the 5DMkll.

Subject line says it: "Canon 1Ds Mklll. Best copy lens for repro work?" Further my assumption was that 5DMKII can resolve roughly same as 1DMKIII with good lights and ISO100, so my experience with 5DMKII would maybe be relevant to you.

I have it, it is a good lens. In that focal length however, the Leica 60/2.8 Macro Elmarit-R is better. The Leica has no visible distortion (I've noticed some in the Canon), and the Leica resolves fine detail better. For longer, the Leica APO Macro 100/2.8-R is highly rated.

John, thanks for that. Very interesting.

For me, it would be a toss up between the 50mm and the 60mm then. Anything longer would be of no interest.

However, I would like to see comparative tests between them and the Canon 50mm Macro 2.5 or try before buying - unlikely in my case.  

Thanks.

D.
