The nifty fifty was the first lens i purchased for my camera and it has got to be the best value for money lens i have in my bag!It isnt a macro lens however ive used extension tubes with mines and works fine with some decent results,however you will have to set your apeture and use manual focus when using tubes or you can buy the more expesive extension tubes that allow full electronic use.However putting aside the use for macro work,its a must have for any canon owners bag....
