1/ The Canon 50mm macro requires a separate unit that fits between the camera and the lens to get to the 1:1 reproduction ratio.

See http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/5/0300003495/02/ef50f25compactmacro-im2-eng.pdf

I too cannot find a picture of this unit, but it is mention in the instructions.

2/ Buy a Sigma 50mm macro lens instead. Not unit needed.

3/ Consider a screw-in closeup lens instead. These screw into the front of an existing lens and let you get closer. Canon has several and other companies make them, too. I use Kenko.
