Canon EF 100mm Macro DSLR Lens
If you are interested in macro photography, this is one lens worth checking out. The first thing to look at is the 1 foot closest focusing distance. There are lenses that go closer out there, but with a 100mm focal length there is no need to get any closer than that. Then there is the aperture. F/2.8 is a pretty decent maximum for all types of shooting. You will be able to work in low light and keep a shallow depth of field that makes macro photography so interesting. You can find this lens for $549.99 to $599.99.
