[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 2483, member: 1061"] I have read good reviews of this budget lens: [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/549304-REG/Sigma_5A8306_70_300mm_f_4_5_6_APO_DG.html"]Sigma 70-300mmf/4-5.6 Macro APO DG[/URL] Make sure it is the [U]APO[/U] version! Weighing in at around $200, it's going to be hard to beat unless you get lucky and find something used in good working order. It comes with a lens hood, but is 1:2, not a true 1:1 macro...though I've read that it does produce very nice macro results for the price. Not that my personal endorsement carries any weight, but this lens is #2 item on my purchase list, right after a 50mm prime. [/QUOTE]
