    first of all, you won't touch the equivalent focal length for less money. sigma has a 12-24 that's good - nearly as much money.

    tamron has an 11-18mm for under $600

    you can find more info on b&h's website

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    ef-s 60mm macro
    the canon ef-s 60mm macro looks just right to me-with 1.6 crop factor it is close to 100mm in the old money and gives you 1:1 macro,and is roughly the size of a film based 50 mm prime
    Latitude: 37° 52'South
    Longitude: 145° 08'East

    Canon 20d,EFS-60mm Macro,Canon 85mm/1.8. Pentax Spotmatic SP,Pentax Super Takumars 50/1.4 &135/3.5,Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumars 200/4 ,300/4,400/5.6,Sigma 600/8.
