[QUOTE="JoeLewisPhotography, post: 57487, member: 3571"] The 105 2.8 I have was designed specifically for Macro work, and having the ability to focus from infinity to 1:1 life size. You may be able to get decent closeups with the old 105 (originally designed for portraiture i believe). The difference is really just the focussing distance. with your 105, you may only be able to focus on a subject, say 15 inches away....where I can focus on it, up to say 2 inches away (not sure of exact measurments, just making an example).
