I am wanting a true macro that can double as a walk around lens for my Canon T4i. At this time I can't spend more than $500. Would the EF-S 60mm 2.8 work? Also, although I use Amazon a lot, I have never bought used. What do you think about used when it comes to a lens? (the only lens I now have for the T4i is the 18-135mm that came with the camera).
Walk around generally means zoom ie 18-270 or the like. I am unaware of any "true" macro that is a zoom. True macro usually means 1:1
Check out reviews on Tamron 90mm macro, google Mike Mots for results, pro who shoots Macro. Good price, great IQ, 6 year warranty. I shoot Nikon and have their 105 2.8 and 200 f4 but they are $$$$$. Tamron good value with price and IQ
