Bought me the 100mm macro! =)
Any tips??!

Use manual focus. When doing macro YOU want to decide where the focus point should be.

If you use it as a short tele for landscape etc., the lens hunts a lot because it has no focus limiter (like the F and FA versions had). So even in such a case you may want to use manual focus.
