Is it possible to handhold 100mm 2.8L macro without a flash?

[K-amps]

I do not remember the exact magnification , but very sure they are close to 1:1. And used shallow DOF. Hope you enjoy it...

Second Image is breathtaking!

For macro work it's not possible for acceptable details and colours.

Actually it is possible, but you need good diffuse lighting and sometimes you need to push the ISO. Also, there is the option of using selective focus creatively to emphasise certain parts of the subject. I often use selective focus, but it isn't to everyone's taste.

Totally new to this forum, just wanted to share one of my macro shots with this lens, I only bought it a couple of weeks back and have only got out once or twice with it.

i own this lens and it is a great lens! i see most people like to take pictures of insects with this lens, but any portrait pictures of people? I have a few, i'll need to dig in to my hard drive.

Great shots btw!

I use it for all sorts commercially, macro, landscape its a nice length compresses perspective and is tack sharp. Love it!
