OK.

The digital sensor (which is the equivalent to film on a film camera) has a magnification factor of 1.6 times 35 mm film on those cameras.

So multiply the lens by 1.6.... ie: 60 x 1.6 = 96 mm.

I use a 100 - 400 mm zoom lens when in Africa so lens range becomes 160 - 640 mm on my 10D.

Thanks guys...

I love the 100mm macro, but to be honest it is really heavy and pretty slow, but once you play with it for about 50 shots you have it down. I love it love it love it! (Plus the fact that it was a present so it was free to me is great!)

I have no experience with the other macro lenses, but the 100mm has a nice 1:1 ratio for under $500 usd.

Shameless plug for the rest of my pics: www.flickr.com/photos/moshpitrockchick (Flickr also has a group dedicated to BTS photography! ;))

@ Edward: I know, thats why she's one of my favorite models...that plus the fact that she works for almost nothing (pretty much the cost of lunch) makes her even better!

Down under they refer to Speedos as "budgie smugglers".
