What lenses are you using?

What type of lenses are you guys using. I'm thinking of getting a decent lens for my XTI to take some aquarium shots. I got the 60mm macro and will probably upgrade to a 100mm soon, but just wanted to see what everyone else was using cause some of you guys take amazing shots.

105mm Macro but thinking about something in the 60mm range

Problem I find with the 60mm is that I have to get really close to the glass (basically touching it) to get close enough for some shots in the back of the tank. Just curious, why do you want to go to 60mm from 105mm?

Has anyone used a 17-85mm canon lens to take any pics? Was thinking of picking this lens up and just wondering how it would take pics in the tank.

I'll keep both lens, I have a staging area in my frag tank so moving corals to the front of the glass is not an issue. I want larger images with better details and cropping/enlarging is the problem. I want larger images with better details. As I progress in my photo skills it's simply a progressin

I c. I'm also a relative newbie as well, just learning the ins and outs of photography. I'm sure I will be like you as I get more experience.

I'm using a Nikon 55-200mm VR on my D50. Hope to get a 50mm 1.8f soon.
