I don't know much about the 100macro, but if you are thinking of doing macro with a 6x7, I suggest thinking about something else. It's kinda/sorta doable, but it isn't pretty. I'd just get the 105/2.4 instead. FWIW, I have the 135/4 macro, and extension tubes, and the 6x7 bellows. > > My biggest concern is what tripod to get I want to make sure to get > one heavy enough to counter-act any shutter shake but I'm a student > and i wanna make sure to get the best bang for my dollar.

SO any > 67 users your input on this would be greatly helpful. I used a Manfrotto 055 for a long time under the 6x7. I always thought it was a bit light weight though. Vibration is NOT a problem with the 6x7 providing you use half a brain when shooting, and don't try to balance the camera on a toy tripod. Use the mirror lock whenever possible.
