Zsolt,

Fozzie gives you good advice. It's all too easy to get carried away in an ebay auction, and you then end up paying way too much for something.

Don't get too excited: you don't really "win" anything: you're still just buying something, and you need to always keep the real value of your target in your thoughts.

I own the EF-S 60mm macro, first lense I bought.

It is a great lense! REAd up reviews at fredmiranda.com

It sometimes has problems focusing in low light and can be a bit slow in focusing, but for what it does - macro, its very very sharp and produces great colour!

a perfect addition to your 30d.

I paid around $600 for mine from inside oz.
