Suggestions for Macro Lens for Canon Digital Rebel XT

I'm looking to take pictures of things really close up. I remember reading
in some article about the Maximum Magnification, though cant seem to find
it. Something about looking for a macro that has a 1:1 or better.

Any Recommendations would be great...

Thanks

Scott,

First stop should be the Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro, this is an outstanding
lens.

I recently purchased the Canon EF-s 60mm Macro lens based on
recommendations both here and on www.fredmiranda.com.

I've not been using a DSLR for that long, but had an interest in Macro
photography. The EF-S 60mm Macro offers, I feel, very good performance
given the cost, I paid around £260 for it from a local retailer in the UK.

If you need a longer reach though, then the Canon EF 100mm Macro lens or
the Tamron 90mm Macro lens are both said to be very good also.

I recently borrowed a 60mm Canon EF-S to shoot some bumblebees on my
sedum. Would have liked a bit more reach!
