So that EF 100mm f/2.8 macro lens I bought... it has an effective focal length of 160mm on my 20D, which can be a bit overwhelming for ordinary use. But it worked wonderfully in the Haleakala crater on Maui last weekend, without even taking a single Macro shot. Compressing the perspective on geothermic landscapes creates interesting effects, whereas the 20mm lens I took to Iceland in 2003 was too wide to capture the volcanic scenery.

It's too extreme to carry around as my one-and-only lens, which is my usual style, but nice to have around when I can afford the weight. And great to practice with, since I've never played much with a telephoto.
