The Canon MP-E 65mm Macro Lens is an extreme macro lens . And it is unlike any other Canon lens I have used to date. And I recommend that you read the manual for this lens - it will help you understand its uniqueness. Canon lists the focal length for this lens as 65mm.

I purchased this lens because I wanted to take some extreme Macro photos. Boy does it deliver. This is the best lens that I have used at taking pictures up close. The sharpness is amazing, and the results are eye-popping.

Sharp, beautiful, extreme macro; Allows a vision into an invisible world

Difficult to use; Makes taking pictures a real skill; Must have dedicated ring light flash

This is a very strange lens that will test your creativity as a photographer. Most people find it challenging to identify an interesting scene when it is right in front of them, at a familiar scale.

X1 to X5..; Very detail colse up!! f/2.8 bright lens!! light weight..; Can use X2 Extention..

Manual Focus, you need to move front and back..; when you use X5, you might thing about distance becuase lens is moving out..

The lens sharpness test is posted on http://pikespeakphoto.com/tests/canonlens_mp-e.html This is the best quality macro lens Canon has to offer. The image quality it delivers surpasses Canon's 180 mm macro lens.

The sharpest of all Canon Macro lenses

Could be a higher focal length (objects must be ridiculously close to the lens

MP-E 65mm, a very specialized Macro lens from Canon. I like what the website says about the product... "It starts where other macro lenses stop", and it pretty-much summarizes the product. Normal macro lenses can reproduce 1:1 magnification at the max, but this lens beats them all.

The Canon MPE6528 MP-E65mm has an extremely solid and hefty feel to it weighing it at almost three quarters of a kilo. The lack of any focusing ring is not an issue as your dealing at such close proximity to the subject.
