Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Lens

Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Lens

A unique manual-focus lens designed exclusively for macro shooting, between life-size (1x) and 5x life-size This is is not a lens for hurry-up shooting as it takes considerable time to set up your shots. You need a tripod and a remote release is almost a necessity, as during the process of clicking the shutter will more than likely introduce some shake or blur. Also a majority of the time you will need to stop down to f/16. 

Focusing is old-fashioned manual - meaning there is no focus ring but that you need to move the entire camera back and forth to focus your subject,  either hand held or with a tripod and focusing rails.

This is an incredible lens! For anyone who wants to shoot up to 5x – at its maximum magnification, you can fill a 35mm frame with a grain of rice. Compatible with the Macro Ring Lites and new Macro Twin Lite, it eliminates the need for awkward bellows accessories for many macro shooters. A floating system preserves optical quality at different focusing distances, and features a UD-glass element.
