a good macro lens for 500-700 dollars?

Hello,

Well after long debate I have decided to get a macro lens for my rebel XT. The problem is I can only at the moment afford to pay 500-700 dollars for one. Are there any great macro lenses for that much? Thank-you for your help

I should also mention that right now I just have the started kit lens, i only got the camera a few months ago.

what about the 100mm macro of canon?

how about the Canon 60mm f/2.8 Macro?

Definitely get the Canon 100mm macro lens. The IQ is superb, it has USM, and the focusing is internal.

I have a Tokina 100 F2.8 Macro Lens for my 350D (Rebel XT) and think it is great.

Have sent you a message concerning a ef-s 60mm Macro F2.8

Another vote for the Canon 100mm. This is an outstanding lens for the $$$.

sigma 105mm great macro lens..

I'd personally go for the Sigma 105 or Canon 100, I'm going to go for the Canon, internal focus really sells it for me... both with have equally great IQ

I recently purchased the Canon 100mm macro, and it's stunning. Highly recommended.

I love my Canon 100mm macro and it's within your budget

Sigma 150/2.8 macro. Comes with hood and tripod collar. Look at the charts at Photozone.de for the SIgma 150 (in the Nikon section,) versus any other macro they have tested.

In the March 2007 issue of Practical Photography, they tested eight macro lenses that were around 100mm:

Canon EF-S 60mm
Tamron 90mm
Sigma 105mm
Sigma 70mm
Olympus ED 50mm
Canon EF 100mm
Pentax 100mm
Nikon AF-S 105mm

The tester's choice was the Nikon and these three lenses got 5 out of 5 stars:
Tamron 90mm
Canon 100mm
Nikon 105mm
