I have decided to go with the Canon XTi 400d camera and the kit lens to start with. I will be getting some more lenses over the next year or so to hopefully get a good foundation going and would like some input on my selections. They are in no real order... canon 50mm f1.8, canon 100mm f2.8 macro or sigma 105mm f2.8 exdg macro, tamron 70-300 f4-5.6 di ld. Will probably go with the 50 mm first and follow it with the 70-300. Which macro would you prefer and for what reason?, and would you recommend a different approach. My plans are mostly portrait and macro things. I scuba dive and would eventually like to get a ikelite housing for it and take it with me as I do my p/s sony now, so the macro lens will come in handy for that aspect as well. The diving will be aimed more for 2008 summer do to cost of the housing and ports. So after all this rambling I guess my ?'s are 1. is this a good selection of lenses to build on 2. which macro lens canon or sigma? Thanks for the input
