Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM APO Macro
10 out of 10 points and recommendedFantastic Sharpness, Fulltime Manual Focus, Quiet HSM, Nice case, hood, and collarAperture only up to f22I bought this lens over Canon's best selling macro 100mm and expensive 180mm. The longer focal length makes it easier take pics w/o disturbing your subjects and also allows you to have more blurry bokeh. This lens also comes with a tripod color, which allows you conveniently change from vertical to horizontal, and it adds stability with your lens better balanced on your tripod. It is a little slow to focus, but since you will most likely be using manual focus a lot of the time anyway, this is not a big problem.
