Photography Question 

Stephanie Frey
 

Need a macro lens for a Canon 10D


I am currently using a point and shoot camera and occasionally stealing my daughters Canon 10D. However, I hope to buy her camera this summer. I really enjoy macro photography and was hoping that someone here could point me in the right direction when it comes to purchasing a macro lens for the Canon 10D. Any recommendations? Thanks!

  I am hoping to get one for $250 or less. Hopefully I am not being unrealistic.

  Hmmm... rules out my favorite, the Canon 100mm-f/2.8.
Sigma makes a 50mm macro for about $270, I think.
You might check out this site, which reviews Canon, Sigma & Tamron lenses, then go see what they sell for at Adorama or B&H...
