Heavenly. (bold = have now; regular = to buy)

You can do a whole lot with the above (relatively inexpensive) collection. Stop shopping around.

BTW, as you take pictures of (small) products for sale listings, you may want to consider a macro lens. One option is Canon 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM.

Thanks, so it looks like I'm right on the money with what I'm thinking.

The macro is a bit out of my price range; I've spent more than I can afford already between the camera and the 50mm; my birthday is next month, so I'm thinking of asking my parents if they can swing the other two or most of the cost for me (even though I'm in my early 30s, haha).

As I mentioned, I do have the EF12 II extension tube, so that helps, since I'm still able to use autofocus if I want or need.  I picked it up open box on Amazon for about $35, so I can't complain about that!
