I REALLY enjoy viewing Marco Photography and hope someday to do Macro Photography. Now I just need a new lens. I have a "macro" lens, but it fails to let me shoot if I am within 3.12' of my target. That can be somewhat annoying.

However, I have a problem. I actually know very little about the sort of lens I would need. I have never taken a photography class or anything. Everything I know I have pieced together by reading magazines, and using common sense.

So, if anyone reads this, do you have any suggestions on a Canon Macro lens? I want to be able to get pictures that are very detailed and close to the subject.

Thanks!
