Personally, I would (and did) choose the wide angle first as it's a great lens for travel photography, but then that was the lens I'd wanted before I'd even decided to get a DSLR. Then again, if macro is your thing... It's a tough choice, but I'm sure you'll enjoy whichever one you settle for. One of the things I'd like to do with all this camera gear is to try and make it pay for itself somehow. I haven't figured out quite how yet, though.

Shooting with the macro lens is so much fun, but it's quite hard work! One of the best things I like about it is that you don't need to go very far in order to find interesting subject matter because even everyday stuff can look interesting at that sort of magnification. Hopefully, I'll be able to find some frogs in the garden, but until then there's always the plantlife!

That's the next one I'm after I think, either that or a 10-20mm. I love doing macro. Right now though I can't justify that much of an expense so am stuck with my nifty fifty!
