Need a real lens

[oscarmeir]

Finally got my paupers LED set up and had the urge to capture the moment. Honestly for $75 per 24" panel they seem OK.
These were taken with my Canon T2i with the kit 18-135.
What is a good (read affordable) macro lens that plays nice with the Canon rebel?

Tokina has awesome macro lenses. I have the 100mm one for my Nikon.

Tamron 90 is a pretty nice macro that you can probably pick up used for between $250 to $350, depending on age.

I had the 18-135, it is a nice lens as well. Won't get macros, but nice all purpose lens.

It is a great lens, even produces ok macros, but I want the real thing
