Looking at these two sub 300$ Macro lenses
1. Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro
2. Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
Both seem to be good choices in this price range. The Canon is a little cheaper with better glass (maybe?)... but an older motor design and 1:2.
Sigma is 1:1 but maybe not as sharp and f/2.8....
Depending on which review you read, either one just bearly beats out the other...
Ive not even bought the camera yet but will soon, so just window shopping
The price limit is absolute and prefer not to buy used. Camera is likely to be an entry level Canon factory refurb XS or XSI
Feedback concerning these two lenses appreciated....
