I was out with my 70-200 f/2.8 IS last outing and wasn't real happy with it as a closeup lens. I didn't use any ETs, but my 400 5.6 did a better job of locking onto insects than the 70-200 did. It's just with the 400 I had to be way back.

I've wanted a macro for some time now, so I think the 100 f/2.8L is in my future.
