re: #4 Political Atheist

Thanks! So the 60mm EF-S 2.8 is the macro, right? That’s the only Canon 60mm prime I know of. Have you ever compared it in person with the (non-L) EF 100mm f/2.8?

I’ve been practicing with Canon’s extension tubes and close-up lenses (the two-element achromatic ones, not the cheapies), so I’m trying to decide what my next step will be: Real, dedicated macro (if so, which one)? A super wide angle lens? A better quality standard zoom lens? A better quality telephoto or medium telephoto lens? An entry-level speedlight like the 320EX? Filters? A more modern, lighter tripod? Nothing, stop spending money and take more pix? Heh.

Too many goodies to choose from. This hobby is hell on my bank account.
