    Not perfect but I'm still learning!

    Turns out the lens is Sigma 50 mm F2.8 DG Macro. Does that mean anything to you because it sure don't mean much to me yet :)

    Yep i know them. I was looking at the canon 60mm but at $700 i might just go with a sigma. There very good lenses and since I'm no pro i can do without the canon name brand.
