Through technological innovation, EF lenses continue to evolve to stay relevant today, offering photographer’s endless possibilities.

Macro lenses are especially useful when photographing objects in extreme close-up to create the ‘larger-than-life’ effect. When selecting a macro lens, focal length and minimum focusing distance (the minimum distance between the object and the front of the lens) are crucial. These 2 factors determine the magnification ratio (how much of the frame the object can fill up) – the higher the magnification, the more intricate details are captured on your photo.
