Hi,

I plan to purchase a Canon 6D as my first FF camera, for the lens kit, I really like to go for Canon EF 24-70mm f/4 L IS USM Lens since it has 1:0.7 macro lens option, so I only need to bring one lens for most trips.

However, taking SPS pictures perhaps 90% of my motivation of using a DSLR, for that, I am not too sure how zoom-in look like from a 1:07 macro lens. I would appreciate if someone can show one or two 1:0.7 marco picture compare to 1:1 macro on SPS for me to learn?

many thanks.
