New Camera makes a big difference - Navi Photos

I bought a Cannon Rebel XSi and am going out today to find a macro lense for her. More and better pictures hopefully to follow.

Nice pictures, you should look at the Canon 60mm Macro. That's what I use, it's a great lens.

I didn't find one yet while I was out. Kyle, thanks for the tip, I will look into that.

haven't made a final decision, but am leaning towards the 60mm, the 100mm is just a little more than I want to spend at the moment.......although I know is worth the money difference. Thanks for the input guys.

Thanks Rich. Got a ways to go, but did find a Canon 60 mm macro for a great price tonight. So It should be here by week's end.

+1

I know the 100mm Canon costs a little more, but it is amazingly sharp and it doubles as a portrait lens! You may want to splurge now or perhaps regret it later.

Not a big Breitling fan, but I do like the Navitimer.

Great Pics.
