What brand of Macro lens would be suggested to get for my Canon 40d digital camera? Would prefer one that would take a clear, non distorted photo but yet not be super super super expensive. --- --- --- ((Not looking for a zoom lens really, already have a 28-135 zoom lens, but I can not stand close enough to the subjects to actually get a good/close macro shot of them with that zoom lens.))
Answer
Your 40D deserves a quality lens and one of THE best Macro lenses available...is the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro. It costs less than $500 US (that's not super super expensive, is it?).
But, it doesn't have "o.k. quality". In fact, it has excellent image quality and sharpness! And, it also make a great portrait lens.

For your walk around lens, have a look at the Canon 28-135mm ($420) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=149629&is=USA&addedTroughType=search
and the Canon 17-85mm ($510) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=351548&is=USA&addedTroughType=search
Both are noticibly better than the 18-55. Depending on what end of the zoom is more important to you, either one should do nicely until you win the lottery and buy that 24-105mm L.
