I just bought a +3 macro lens for my canon 28-80 EFII and I took it out today for a test run. Here are some of the images I got.

Sweet. Great shots dude. I'll have to keep a macro lens add-on in mind for the future. Might save me some room in my gadget bag.

Lovely shots! Wish our weather was warm enough to get some creatures back into the garden!!

Nice shots. Ounce for ounce and dollar for dollar they are about the best value in photography IMHO. Well done.
