I've got one somewhere... bought it for about 20 E here in Romania, second hand of course. It's an Auto Revuenon 80-205 mm MC (multicoated?) Macro, and for the money, it serves it's purpose. I don't use long lenses a lot, so I got a cheap one "just in case" - and I must say that it's a fairly decent lens - all metal cast, good macro, nice resolution, could do with an extra stop, but during the day it will serve you just right until you buy that 70-300.

oh well, you live you learn. Thanks.

A slightly off-beat option would be the sigma 24mm 1.8 DG EX bla bla Macro. f1.8 and very close focusing (they list 7" but I _swear_ it focuses down to 2" or so manually) can get you pretty creative results, plus it's a great all-around lens (I have it for about 5 days now and haven't taken it off the mount yet).
