many would disagree with me but this is what i would go for

canon 450d or 40d depends on how rich you are

canon 100mm macro lens

canon mr-14ex or mt-24ex depending on how rich u are

if your mega rich pick up mpe-65 as well :D

100-400 next on my list I borrowed one & then thought about getting one, too. But first I tried a 70-200 f/2.8 + a 2X TC. How do these grab you?

Probably should have gone down to f/16 for these:

i didn't know you can use 100-400 for MACRO?

So mpe-65 and mt-24ex are the BEST COMBO?

Not by itself, it won't. But you can do very close close-up work with extension tubes. I can get a magnification of 1:2.84 (or 0.35) with a 12mm and a 25mm tubes between my 30D and a 100-400 lens.
