I've wanted a macro for some time now, so I think the 100 f/2.8L is in my future.
I've used the close up lens attachment for my 70-200 when i didn't want to carry an extra lens and it's pretty good. Helps in a pinch for closer focus. I now carry it with me on engagement shoots to get small details and ring shots if I need to pack light (usually). I think there was a gallery where someone had the 70-200 f/4 (non is) and the close up lens with some pretty nice dragonfly photos.
