A good macro lens

Posted November 18th, 2007 by bazcurtis

Hi,

I have been shooting for a while now and have found myself in a position I never thought I would be in. I want to macro shoot. I have always concentrated on zoom lenses to take my cricket and wildlife photos, but recently I have found getting close up to life can be just as much fun.

Can anyone recommend a good macro lens at a decent price? I have a Canon 400d or Rebel XTi for the US listen :-)

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes

Michael

Hi,

As it turns out my Wife gave me my Christmas present early :-) She got me a Canon EF-S60mm f/2.8 Macs USM lens. Went out and used it today. Wow. Superb. I can see what Lesa means about great macro shots. I liked what I had done in the past, but this lens is another level.

Lost the lens cap in less than 14 hours, but apart from that had a great shoot.

Best wishes

Michael
