Hi everyone, I'm new to TPF and have just recently started to put together my DSLR equipment. I am very much a beginner with SLR's. My goal with photography is first to improve the quality of my family photo collection as I have three young grand kids to shoot and second to venture into the realm of macro photography. I have a Canon xSi with the 18-55 kit lens and a Canon 50MM f1.8 MKI lens. I am happy with both lens' but feel short in terms of telephoto and macro capability.
I am looking for advice before I buy another lens. I have around $400 budgeted for another lens and would like to know if there is a good telephoto lens that would extend my range beyond the 18-55 kit lens and also take good quality macro pics. In my review of different telephoto lens' I notice that most are labeled as "macro" and this is a little confusing. as a beginner I am probably more interested in the macro capability than telephoto.
Any Advice??? Thanks!!
Mike
