Best Canon Rebel Macro Lens

Canon Rebel DSLR cameras come in several models. The newest is the Rebel T2i, and the oldest that can still be bought new is the Canon Rebel XSi. There is quite a bit of difference between the models, but the one thing that they have in common is that they are the entry-level digital SLR cameras in the Canon line.

That is important to understand when selecting a Canon Rebel Macro lens that is appropriate.

You see, there are numerous macro lenses that will fit the camera, whether you own the newest or the oldest Rebel. In fact, ALL macro lenses made for Canon will fit.

That makes it easy, right. Just pick one. But wait. Is there a best Canon Rebel Macro lens?

I'm thinking that if you own an entry-level digital SLR, you may want to go easy on the pocketbook.

If you paid about 0 for the camera, would you want to spring for another 0 or 0 for a lens that does close up photos? Those prices would get you one of the Canon 100mm macro lenses. There are two, one of which is an "L" lens, the best that Canon makes.

Keep in mind, if you do choose one of those rather expensive lenses, you will get a superb portrait lens too. That's because the 100mm lens is great for portrait work... Really great.

Other possibilities are lenses in the same focal length range made by either Tamron or Sigma. One of these would save you about 0.

If you want to go much cheaper, you may consider a zoom lens that has a macro setting. For instance, the Sigma 70-300 has a macro switch on the lens that does something to the settings that qualifies it as a macro. However, you still can't get very close to the subject, and the quality is not nearly as good as the other lenses mentioned above. One good thing is the price - less than 5. And this lens does a decent job of taking other types of shots because its main job is not as a macro.

Another option is to go for a shorter focal length. For instance, there are lenses at 50mm and 60mm that are true close up lenses. They run about #300.

One thing that is very important to note is that taking shots of very small objects does require different optics and technology. Getting a single focal length allows you to get better image quality than using a zoom lens. Plus your distance from the subject will be shorter with a "real" macro lens.

Finding the right Canon Rebel Macro lens should not be hard. Take a few minutes to think about your priorities. What do you need the lens to do, and how much do you have in your budget. Maybe you would be better off waiting until you can afford a better lens rather than buying now and being dissatisfied with your choice.
