Need a lense
 

looking to get a lense in a bit for my canon T5i but realy i know nothing about cameras, would like to take nice close up shots any recommendations would be fantastic! Thanks alot

The Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro lens is a good choice.

You don't need the professional "L" version.

Tamron 90mmis excellent. As good as the canon, slightly shorter focal length but a lot cheaper

The canon rebel can also take the ( probably cheaper) 60mm EF-S macro lens. It's meant for cropped sensors like the one on the rebels.

That is also true. However if you decided to upgrade to a full frame camera down the road then the ef-s lens will no longer fit and you'll have to buy another lens.

YEP!

The #1 reason why I don't buy EF-S lenses. :mrgreen:

Perfect thanks guys, got some options now to look at didn't know we're to start.

another option
 

One of the members ( see link for his sample shots: https://www.flickr.com/photos/137833...4/23368905422/ ) uses a Olympus TG-4 ( for around $329) underwater cable camera is possibility with it)that is cheaper than a macro lens which starts at $5XX for a macro 60mm new, or around $3XX user, so that might be an option too.

A nice macro lense would be sweet I won't be buying for a few months anyways and used is fine by me : )

I have the canon 60mm f2.8 macro lense. Love it.
Had it for years now and it still shoots like new. Well worth it. If i had the extra cash at the time i woulda got the 100mm but the 60 is still great.
