Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM Lens

Life-size close-ups can be taken from a farther distance without disturbing the subject (insects, etc ...)

Another telephoto macro lens with a maximum magnification of 1x. Life-size close-ups can be taken from a farther distance without disturbing the subject (insects, etc). The internal floating system minimizes fluctuations in aberrations caused by changes in the focusing distance. The delineation is therefore razor sharp from 1x to infinity.

  • Diagonal angle of view: 13° degrees

EF 180 Macro
Heavy and the auto focus does not work well with macro in low light-USE THE MANUAL FOCUS! This lens takes beautiful pictures and will get a lot of use. The macro photos are really something else with this lens and it doubles as a telephoto lens. Either way, the photos are incredible. Read more ...

Very pleased and does exactly as advertised
Have not had time yet to use it more than a few times. It seems exactly what I wanted though as it does allow me to be a little further away from the subject, like bugs. Looking forward to using it more. Build quality outstanding. Read more ...
