I am looking for a macro lens for my wife. Camera is an EOS T1i. What lens is compatible? Thinking 100mm in the $500 neighborhood (less would be good). Any advice much appreciated!

Any EF or EF-S lens is compatible with the T1i. You can get a 60mm EF-S macro for $375 (refurb) from Canon or a 100mm EF macro for $480. With the 60mm on the T1i, it'll have the same field of view as the 100mm on a full-frame camera.

Tamron 90mm and Tokina 100mm are very good and come well under your price
