Canon EF 180mm f3.5 L USM Macro Lens

£1249.99

The Canon EF 180 f3.5 is a telephoto macro lens with a maximum magnification of 1x. Macro life-size close-ups can be taken from a farther distance without disturbing the subject (insects, et cetera). The Canon internal floating system minimises fluctuations in aberrations caused by changes in the focusing distance ensuring razor-sharp delineation from 1x to infinity. More

Comments about Canon EF 180mm f3.5 L USM Macro Lens:

I love this lens. It opens up a whole new world of the small/tiny! With its 1:1 ratio you can literally fill your sensor life-size. Although the auto-focus works just fine, focusing is often best done manually. This is because depths of field can be extremely shallow and you'll want to be choosy about which parts of your image are sharp. This can be quite a tricky process because the movements are so tiny. But at the same time, it's this precision in operation of this lens that you'll enjoy.

For live subjects, the 180mm means you can fill your sensor without getting too close to your subject. This is an indispensable feature in my opinion.

Another real bonus is that this lens makes a fantastic long portrait lens. Great for candid shots etc and extremely sharp as it's a prime.

Enjoy!
