600D with Lens with budget

[natharas]

Hey I'm in the process of getting a 600D and I need some advice. It will be used for macro with insects, bugs, flowers and I have found this would this do an appropriate job or do I need to go to a 90mm?

Secondly, we will be going overseas next year so are looking at a landscape type lens with a decent zoom on it. I am looking at a Tamron AF70-300 F/4-5.6 DI for $200 second hand would this do a good job?


My wife recently entered the Canon 5 comp and just did a course last weekend but I'm trying not to sound to obvious by asking to many questions.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
