A superior-performance lens offering excellent optics and focusing from infinity down to one-half life size (0.5x). Its nine-element design features a floating optical system, which ensures top-notch performance even at close focusing distances. Light and compact, it functions beautifully as a general-purpose normal lens. The optional accessory Life Size Converter EF enables focusing down to life size (1:1), and actually increases working distance – very desirable in close-up shooting.

Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro Lens Review by the-digital-picture.com
The Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro Lens is Canon’s shortest (in both focal length and physical length) macro lens.
If you need both (50mm normal and macro) in one lens – the Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro Lens is for you! If 1:2 macro is good enough, the Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro Lens is a good value lens. Image quality is very good.

Before we carry on writing on the ‘Guide’ category for this part of the website, we think that we should do a bit of disclaimer here. We are not a professional organization having access to every single piece of lenses out there in the market to conduct thorough tests. Recommendations and views found in this article are solely based on our own takes.
This round, we would look at what’s best for Canon shooters or those would-be for ultra-wide, normal and telephoto zoom lenses.
Ultra-wide zoom- For under RM 3000
For it’s very useful focal range, well build, fast and responsiveness, very good optical performance, the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is the lens that is hard to be beat.
If you are on full-frame, the Canon EF 17-40mm f4L USM is surely a performer and has its value for money.
In fact, there are quite some people who actually use this lens on their crop bodies as their normal zoom lens too.
On a note, this is the cheapest Canon L-series lens out there.

The 70mm f2.8 EX DG Macro has been awarded best product 2007-2008 by EISA.
The 70mm lens was judged Best Expert Lens by the TIPA organization, and received the 2007 TIPA award.
This medium telephoto macro lens is ideal for both digital SLR cameras and 35mm film SLR cameras. The 70mm focal length gives an equivalent field of view as our popular 105mm macro lens when used on digital SLR cameras with an APS-C size image sensor.
The design of this lens makes it suitable for taking pictures in all situations from infinity to 1:1 macro, both with natural light conditions or flash.
A Special Low Dispersion (SLD) lens and two high refractive index SLD lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations and produce an exceptional level of optical performance. Sigma’s super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, and helps create a natural color balance.
The floating focus system provides extremely high optical performance from infinity to 1:1 Macro.
A ‘Focus Limiter Switch’ in incorporated on the lens, improving the speed and accuracy of autofocus by limiting the focus range. A screw-in lens hood is included for convenient use of circular polarizing filters.
* Nikon and Pentax mount lens do not have an aperture ring, therefore depending on Camera model some functions may not work.
