For the ones who mentioned my camera in the puppy pics thread here's a couple of shots taken with my Canon 2.8 Macro lens and the Rebel XT. Now THIS is detail! Now I can't wait to get some better glass in my hands. I knew it was making awesome images with the cheap kit lens, but this is incredible!
Best of all, I saved for it and paid CASH instead of putting it on credit cards like I did my old photo equipment. I think that in and of it's self makes the image quality somewhat better!
Nothing of interest, just showing the detail captured by this camera/lens combo. It wasn't surprising to me, but I found that the pics from the 100 2.8 Macro lens required less agressive sharpening after being resized to get this amount of detail. The kit lens images take a bit more sharpening to bring out the detail once they are resized.

Shot of the center cap of one of my stove eyes, which I now notice needs cleanin'. Didn't really notice that with my naked eye. Sometimes too much detail is embarassing!
