help me pick...

Creamy Goodness

I'd like to get a new lens and i've shortlisted some lenses but need the reassurance of you guys and gals.

the first one up is:

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM.

reason for picking this is i'd like to get into macro photography especially after seeing some shots here.

next one up is

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

the reason for picking this one is that it's a good range of zoom whilst being of L glass quality.

and finally...

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

I'm getting prices off keaphoto after i type this and probably just as well after looking at the RRP's on canon's web site.

here's my gear to date to give you an insight into the range i have.

canon 450d.
canon 18-55mm kit lens
canon 50mm f/1.8 lens
canon 70-200mm f/4 lens

hoping to get one of these too, or might choose the one with f2.8, 17-70mm something?

I'd definitely get the 100mm macro, it's a beauty. I love mine. Here's a flickr group with all shots using that lens - http://www.flickr.com/groups/canon100mm/

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM: US$502

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM: US$963

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM: US$670

in my opinion the 100mm is the best lens out of them all, I havent used the 24-105L but the 100 macro is super sharp.

i emailed Albert Shan from keaphoto albert[at]keaphoto[at]com, kea are still taking orders through email while they get their web shop up and running, which Albert mentioned in an email should be in the next two weeks.

Perfect fit
