Angle Macro
Can a 100mm macro lens be used for landscape and family portraits?
I’m thinking of buying a 100mm Canon macro lens. But I also need a lens to take some family photos of 50 or so people (either wide angle or from far away). Can I use the same 100mm macro lens for both? Any pros/cons?
A 100mm macro lens on any Canon dSLR with an APS-C format sensor (any non-professional Canon digital SLR let’s say) will have a crop factor of 1.6x. That means that a 100mm lens on a Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel (just a random example) would actually be equivalent to a 160mm lens. In general, that focal length isn’t going to be very useful for wide landscape photography or photos of large groups, but it would likely take very nice portraits of 1-3 people. That focal length is often considered part of the nice ranges of portrait lenses (around 85mm-180mm).
In a word though – “Nah” – that’s not a good lens for both applications that you’re interested in. Even at a straight 100mm you probably won’t find an experienced photographer who will bless anything over, say, 35mm on the high end (no crop factor) for landscape/large group photos. On an APC-S sensor that would be about 17mm-18mm, which is quite common on zoom lenses now.
