Hello guys.

I know im postin alot but Iv also been planning on purchasing another lens as well as a photo editing program. I wouldnt mind if someone could help me choose a lens for my Camera. Currently I own a 28-90mm but im trying to find something that could give me clearer images for close ups.The model of camera that I currently own is the Rebel EOS K2. For this though I have a price range unlike the Photo editing program. Im lookin in a price range from $50 to not much more than $300. Plz post any suggestions on purchasing a lens or a lens that you would recomend.

Thanks
Riley

If you’re not going to by a canon lens look into Tamron or Tokina. Try to go with there high to mid range designs they use high speed servos drives and produce a really good glass. Don't go with Sigma the quality is to inconsistent.

What you may consider for now is to buy a set of close-up filters for your current lens. I only own one actual macro lens, but I use close-up filters with all my lenses. A set of three (usually +1 +2 and +4 filters) will run you about 30 dollars.

A set of Extension Tubes may give you some great macro opportunities without adding any glass. $159

A set of three close up lenses will get you going within budget. I use them with some success. A more pricey but better solution would be either the canon 100mm macro or the Tamron 90mm macro. Both are fast at F2.8 sharp and versatile. I expect you could get one of them within the higher end of you budget. Add a 2x converter and you would cover the macro to moderate telephoto and portrait areas very nicely.
