Introduction of Canon macro lens

If you asked for Canon macro lens, and you have no idea about that (even you’re a photographer), this introduction is good for you. The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM macro was introduced back in march 2000 replacing the old EF 100mm f/2.8 macro (classic micro motor featured). On APS-C DSLRs the field-of-view resembles a 160mm full format equivalent. The main application of Canon macro lens is, clearly, macro photography! But the lens can do more than that photography project- it has ability to unlimited focus.

Note: the image below shows the lens with a filter on it (optional) and (also optional) hood of the lens has been cut down in length.

The recently designed UD-glass elements and optical formula decreasing chromatic aberrations that become apparent at high or strong magnifications. Macro Ring Lite ML-3 can be embedded to the lens for flash photography.

The lens has been totally redesigned into a real Internal Focus manufacturing which never extend if focusing to macro distances. This is highly unusual for a 100mm macro lens. Rear element is not rotate while the polarizer is not a problem. Typical for ring-type USM lenses full-time manual override is always possible in AF mode One-shot. AF speed is fast (single track), but Canon still provided a focus limiter to prevent hunting in the extreme range AF macro when using the lens at a normal distance from the focus. Focusing distance of 0.31m (working distance 149 mm) for maximum production. 1:1 magnification. Here the subject of a wide rubber ring and has a smooth and enjoyable. Build quality is very correct with a metal frame and plastic outer tube of good quality. Optical development consisting of 12 elements in 8 groups, with no special items. This objective has 8 aperture blades. Typical for all true macro lens features a floating system to achieve a consistent performance at all focal lengths. 58mm filter size.

Canon makes more macro lens, but we suggest the best of them. All of them are good for Canon macro photography, and some companies usually make the contest. Find Canon SX30 IS and Canon EOS 500D review.
