I'm thinking about getting a new macro lens. Any ideas?

It might help if you told us what camera body you have.

I've got a Canon Digital Rebel XT.

The MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x looks pretty good, but a bit on the high side
price wise.
A lot depends on what you will be shooting.

I was loaned an MP-E 65 for a couple of weeks, and from that limited
testing, I can confirm it gives very nice results.

The Tamron 90mm apparently is very good - especially for the money - and is
available in most fitting.
Presuming this is a 35mm fitment of somekind of course...
