Re: Any reason to upgrade from this old 105mm macro?

I have the 105 macro with OS and the OS definitely helps on handheld macro shots. I also have the 70mm macro and for handheld shots prefer the 105 due to the OS. I find the 105 to be a very sharp macro lens and is right there with the 70mm and a Tamron 90mm f2.8 I also use.

These are all handheld on the 105mm on the sdQH.

f2.8 1/320

f4 1/125

The bee was moving around and there was a breeze moving the flower too so I had to keep shutter speed up to limit motion blur.

f5.6 1/125

f5.6 1/160
