What camera do you have? I have a Canon 60mm Macro Lens which is a top lens, and in mint condition too. But it depends what camera you have? lol

I use the Sigma 50mm 2.8 Macro, and its superperb! Cant remember how much I paid for it. When I figure out how to add images to posts, I'll post one of Boris taken using that lens - failing that, all the images in my album on here are taken using it.

I'd recommend the same as Siman, the Canon 60mm macro lens.
I have been using this lens for about a year now, and its great to use.
