It seems logical to me that if I was able to already take a competitive macro shot for this contest, I wouldn't need this lens! But since I could use a lens like this, I won't be able to enter.

Thanks for posting this Mike. I'll be sending in my entry.

Jim, even if you owned this same lens, entered the contest and won the lens, sure would be nice to sell it and make $400.

Thanks from me too!
I've been a little un-inspired lately, but this (and a trip to Bosque right after Thasnksgiving) should get my inspiration back.

Mike, I think you misunderstood my comment. I don't already own any macro lens. Therefore, I won't have anything to enter.

Jim, it's not necessary to own a macro lens to shoot macro shots. You could check out the Macro/Close-up Gallery and check out the lenses people use to verify that. I just got a macro lens a couple of months ago.

Jim, I shoot macro at with a Tamron 70-300 IS, at 300mm :), so you don't need a specialized lens.
