An absolutely superb lens for Canon users, this superior optic offers focusing from infinity down to one-half life-size (0.5x), making it fantastic for close-up work. It has a nine-element design with a floating optical system, meaning its performance is pitch-perfect even when working at close distances, and it also works great as a general-purpose lens for street or travel photography.

With a large maximum aperture and a useful prime focal length, this lens pairs well with any Canon EF-mount DSLR to produce exciting and dynamic results. It can also pair with the Life Size Converter EF (available separately), which increases working distance and enables focusing down to 1:1, making it a true macro lens.
