••••• MACRO LENSES - which one to choose?

I don't think the OP wants to be messing with tubes. Certain lenses are good for general photgraphy but thoroughly mundane for close up work, which would include every zoom I've owned as well as most primes. The 60G is optical magic from ten feet in, not so hot at infinity. Mrs D makes me shoot ornaments every year (not that I mind :^)) and the 60G has the pop needed to get the object to jump off the screen. Color, sharpness and contrast are all top shelf. As an added bonus, the lens takes an absolutely beautiful head and shoulders portrait.
