The above is good, the most recent 100mm L macro is better than the older
one I have.
I cannot agree with a 50mm for copy work though , the longer the better .
180mm macro lenses are also fine for repro.
I do suggest trying and using HDR if you can as you can increase the dynamic
range in the high lights, where most Dslrs fail first. Also there will be
less noise in the shadows with HDR.
