if you don't plan on doing a lot of low light shots or you don't mind using a tripod, go with the 70-200 4.0L non IS ($600 new, 450 used). Most will use this and eventually step up to the 70-200 f/2.8L when funds are available. IMO the 4.0L IS isn't worth the money.

If you want macro on a budget, look into extension tubes. If you really want a macro lens, the Canon or Tamron 90 or 100mm lenses are two affordable ($300-400) macro lenses worth looking at.
