Discovering a small world
The small things we see and ignore every day can actually reveal much surprise and fascination up close. A world all their own.
Canon offers several ways to discover this world. The four EF macro lenses are the most effective and versatile, while the three
screw-on Close-up lenses are the most convenient. Also available are the Life-Size Converter EF and two Extension Tubes.

MACRO LENSES
About Macro Magnification
A life-size macro lens; that is,
a 1x magnification records an
image on film at its actual size.
If you're photographing a flower,
for example, and it has a diameter
of 1 cm., it will occupy 1 cm. on
0.25x
your film. Other macro lenses have
lower or higher magnifications.
A lens with 0.5x magnification
would produce an image on film
that is half the size of the actual
subject. Your 1 cm. flower, then,
would only occupy 0.5 cm. on film.
In the other direction, a 5x
magnification lens would convert
0.5x
the 1 cm. flower to a 5 cm.
diameter image. Since the entire
image wouldn't fit in the frame of
your film, you would have an
enlarged image of a detail of the
flower. Magnification is not the
same thing as focal length.
A 50mm lens and a 135mm might
1.0x
both be macro lenses with,
for example, 1.0x magnification.
The advantage of the longer lens
is that it allows greater distance
from a subject. You would choose
the 135mm macro lens to
photograph a butterfly or a bird.
The 50mmlens would be more
