I've been using a canon 100mm 2.8 macro for a while and the quality is excellent. I'm using a Canon Rebel Xti also.

Here are sample images.

Whatever you do, stay away from Quantaray. They're inexpensive but I have one and really don't like it. Came as a kit lens. I have a Canon Rebel XT body.

Any one using the 65mm macro and have any pics off hand? My best freind who use to be into reefing and now is a prof photogerpher says it's hands down better then the 100mm macro?

I have an old Cannon 10D and I been looking at the Tokina Telephoto 100mm f/2.8. AT-X M100 AF Pro D Macro Autofocus Lens. It has good review and cost $200 less than the cannon. I might get it as a xmas gift for myself. Has anyone used it???

The Tamron 90mm macro is widely known as the sharpest macro lens. It is also a fair amount less than the cannon 100. One of the only problems with it is that it does not focus internally.

I have the 65mm it is a little more flexible lens, meaning multi use, but for use in aquarium the 100mm macro from canon is the best

 

[m and m]

65mm macro is the best out there, its more then the 100mm but well worth it if you bank allows it.
