why in our test 70mm is better?

 

70mm: http://www.opticallimits.com/canon_eos_f...ff?start=1

 

105mm: http://www.opticallimits.com/canon_eos_f...ff?start=2

 

many people buy 105 version

but optically is better the 70?

 

I need to use that on Canon 600d

 

I can use this kind of lens also for other destination?

maybe to a portrait?

 

Many thanks!!!

 

 

The 70mm is one of the sharpest full frame lenses available (many tests show this). Which lens you choose is personal.

 

The 105mm OS has image stabilisation, a silent AF motor.

 

Personally I would choose the 70mm from these two, as I like the field of view better for close up stuff (on APS-C). Again, that is a personal choice. The 70mm is an excellent lens to also use for portraits, with its equivalent focal length to a full frame 112mm lens.

 

What is ideal for you, only you can figure out. Both are very good lenses, as are many other macro lenses from Tamrom (60/90/180mm), Sigma (70/105/150/180mm), Canon (100/180mm) and Tokina (35mm).
