If you want a nice marco lens, Tamron makes a pretty good one, the 90mm f/2.8. It's cheaper than the brand lens (for instance I was looking at the basic version of the Canon 100mm f/2.8). I've read some nice things about the Tamron here, and a coworker has that lens. Her insect shots out in the field are awesome.

Nice lens and nice action shots, Bob.

Thanks!

I have the same lens, well mine says 1:28.GII at the end of that long name, so maybe second generation(?).
It is also great for long distance shots, animals, birds etc.

Thanks! I think yours may be a the second gen, mine is a first gen because I got it used.
