Ok, thinking of getting another lens but I don’t know which one would benefit me most. I have been looking at the Canon 15mm 2.8 fisheye but I don’t know how often I would use it, although it does look pretty cool. I shoot a little bit of everything (landscape, people, etc.). So, any suggestions other than the fisheye? Any arguments for/against the fisheye? Thanks. See sig for what I have already and please, no 300 2.8L...I am still dreaming of that one but it aint comin any time soon. :)

How about the 100 f/2.8 macro? Macro can be every bit as eye-opening as fisheye, and offers a lot more scope. Plus the lens will work well on all your bodies - the 15 fisheye will be marginal on the 30D.

The 100 f/2.8 macro is on my fiances xmas list so there is a chance she might be getting one of those for xmas. ;-)a But if for some reason she doesnt get one for xmas I agree the 100 macro would be something I would like to get.

Haha. Funny you mention that. I have been looking for a new bag and Jon has been aiding in that decision. He mentioned that if I buy the bigger bag I will here voices telling me to fill it.:)
