Discuss in the Canon SLR Lens Talk forum
The Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.5 1-5x Macro is a manual-focus lens designed exclusively for macro shooting, between life-size (1x) and 5x life-size. At its maximum magnification, you can fill a 35mm (full-frame) capture with a grain of rice. Compatible with Canon's Macro Ring Lites and Macro Twin Lite, this lens will eliminate the need for awkward bellows accessories for many macro shooters. A floating system preserves optical quality at different focusing distances, and the lens features a UD glass element.
