as many of you know i recently got the Rebel XT. I am wanting to purchase a macro lens for it but all the numbers and such are so confusing! the smallest lens i have right now is the EFS 18-55mm but i want to get closer than that. sould i be looking into the macro(magnifying lens) that i just screw onto the lens Im using or is there an actual macro lens that i can use? I like to get really close to my flowers(see 2005 portfolio done with the minolta Z1). With the Z1 i could almost touch the lens with the flower and I miss getting that close with this new camera so I need some serious help here!
what lens should i be looking to get?

Tamron SP 90mm 2.8 resonably priced and very sharp. I don't have a macro myself but my bud at work has the tammy for his Minotla 7D and the shots that I have seen are amazing right out of the cam.

thanks! I didnt think that the Z1 manual features were that much different from a Dslr but as usual I was wrong! at least i learned the basics with it. now all i got to do is learn how to work this thing and get the photos outta my head! hopefully before the GTG!

Girl you have time to play with that puppy and figure out all of the bells and whistles before May 6th. Glad that you are definitely coming. I'm excited.
