Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro Overview

The Canon EF 50mm F2.5 Macro dates back to the birth of the EOS system in 1987. But optically, it's still a very strong performer. Capable of 1:2 reproduction on its own, you can achieve 'true' macro reproduction using the optional Life Size Converter EF, which also increases working distance. Compatible with Canon's full-frame and APS-C DSLRs, the EF 50mm F2.5 Macro is also a sharp and useful standard lens, offering an effective focal length of 80mm on APS-C.
