    I normally bring the 24-105L to gigs in Dorans and it's fine but today I feel like experimenting maybe...
    Would the 100mm Macro which also doubles up as a great portrait lense be ok to use? ie would it focus quickly enough?
    Will still be bringing the 24-105L but just curious.

    The 100mm macro should focus much quicker especially if you use the limiter switch.

    Limiter Switch as in 0.48 rather than use 0.31 I take it?
    Also no IS on this but sure we'll see how it copes today. :)

    I'd say the 100mm will work well for you. It certainly is a good portrait lens. Nice detail with it, and f/2.8 will work well in low light.

    Yeah, I'm curious, why I decided to experiment with it today, very happy with the 24-105L but this is my 3rd time in Dorans in under a month and it's on for 2 days so today will use both the 100mm and the 24-105L.
    Tommorow I'll use the 50mm 1.4 and the 24-105L.

    dont forget you get an extra top of light from the 100mm but it is longer so hold your camera very steady
