The Macro:
These types of lenses seem like a ton of fun to play around with. If you didn't know already, this type of lens (in simple terms) is a super-duper-up-close type of lens. If you look off to the side of my page you'll see a leaf with some agua on it. This would be a "macro shot" although I didn't even use my camera for this. In fact I actually used my phone with a magnifying glass (which is a great alternative if you can't afford a macro lens). Anyways, there are many different macro lenses, varying in quality and price. Of course I won't be able to afford the nicest lens, reaching over $1,400 (yes, I live in Park City and I can't afford everything, crazy right). So for me I'd like a lens that is a good quality, yet also not going to make me broke. I've recently been looking at the Canon EF-S 60 mm f/2.8 Macro USM. This lens is a pretty good lens, and has a few nice features. It has a floating optical system that can focus down to full life size. Also, it's a good multi-purpose lens not only good for macro shots, but for portrait shots and available light shots. This lens' retail price is around $470.

The other lens I was looking to invest in was a wide-angle lens. This is a lens that can shoot, well, at a wide angle. So in a sense it's sort of a panorama-type lens. There really aren't too many specs on this specific lens, but it's an ultra wide-angle and pretty light-weight. It also has a rear floating focusing system. Solid quality images are captured at all subject distances.
