Ok I found out myself by asking a photographer at a miss universe qualifying pagent. One would want a marco lens for a canon rebel or better

Canon 100mm f 2.8 1:1 macro lens (if you're a Canon fan, like Renee/Cranberry). That lens will run you about $500 or so, but it really does a nice job.

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras...

Lois,
Sandy Claws brought that lens to Renee back awhile.
Getting good glass is what really makes a difference in your photos, and it is indeed an investment. Renee has been looking at the Canon L-series lenses...check out the prices on THOSE! I think the one she wants is about $1300!

Actually, you can. IIRC, someone on one of the boards just sold one not too long ago. I've heard that some peeps are using the Tamron...here's a review:

Meow, I guess you didn't realize that the camera was the cheap part huh? lol
You should see some of those super size telephoto lenses...some of those things go for upwards of $12,000.
NO COREY...i am very disappointed to say that I had no idea.....apparently the things I was looking at were not lenses...LOL...cause I saw them for like $50.....I think they were just rings that held the lenses on
I am going to have to deal with the one that came with it.....NO WAY I can dish out another $500 right now, BUT...PLEASE keep your eyes open (since you guys live in real towns) for anyone that may be selling one cheap haha

Oh nice! That's a great choice.
LOl...Greg said you were a fan of these....Actually in the photo section I had asked for suggestions....Joe told me to check out the Rebel....they were about $650
I was gonna buy it, and I got a message saying the Canon rebel upgraded to the XS...whatever....LOL...and there was a special for $479....HECK I bought it really fast
BUT, now I am trying to figure it out here and there, and just found out that lenses cost more than the camera
....still better then what I had though

I had the 50mm lens.... it was very nice. I then went with the f1.4 and love it even more.
Yes the 50mm Lens is awesome its a great all purpose lens, some of the pics that I told that I posted in Meowzer's thread were taken with that with a lens attachment. I also had another cosina lens that I used before I sold it to my friend that was an awesome lens. The cosina lens I still have that has never been used and still is in the box she didn't buy because she had already had the same lens its a 28-80mm MC Marco lens..
