I got my new Canon XSI a couple of days ago! I got the refurb with the 18-55 mm lens. I saved enough to go ahead and get a mcro lens to! I went with the sigma 50mm F2.8 DG macro. It might not be the best ever, butfor a beginner I think it's great! I'm glad I went this way so I could get that lens, since macro photography is what I want to do the most. Thanks for all the help everyone!
