Photogs: Looking for lens info
I'm a step above beginner but certainly not intermediate yet. I'm shooting with a Canon 20D and have been using a borrowed 100mm 2.8. I now have to give it back and was recommended the 60mm 2.8. Yays or nays?
I use the nifty fifty ALL the time and my concern is that the 60mm will be much like the 50mm that I already have.
Just looking for some input. 
Re: Photogs: Looking for lens info
Sorry, I don't think I completely understand...are you looking to purchase one or the other (either the 60mm or the 100mm)? Any other lenses you are looking at buying?
What do you typically shoot?
Yeah, I'd skip the 60. The 50 is going to be pretty close, and you're actually losing some stops so you'd have to up your ISO or slow down your shutter to get the same amount of light - I think you'd find you wouldn't like it as much.
The 100 is a good prime (it's the macro too, right?). I don't know what else you have in your kit, but I'd probably look at a good zoom. I love my 28-70mm L, but it's pricey. You might also have some fun with the 10-22mm wide angle lens - it's my second-favorite after the 28-70. You might also look at one of the 70-200mm lenses to add a whole range of options to your kit in the short term. I would definitely get one with IS, though; with those focal lengths, shaking will be more noticeable than with a prime or a shorter focal length and because it's a larger, heavier lens it will be harder to hold steady without a tripod.
