With a 1.6crop body it takes it to 96mm and makes it a fantastic portrait lens.

The 60mm is a fantastic lens, I had one when I had my 350D and was gutted it didn't fit my 5D, so had to sell it.

I actually prefer the images from the 180 there

Thanks for makign the effort there CT.

Not had a chance to do more than pass by for the last week or so. Those shots do look very good and certainly prove that the lens has more uses than just macro.

I still cant help but wonder if it would fair as well at a greater distance.

I shall test it at greater distance in due course - rest assured. Probably when it's warmer though.
