EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro
A versatile macro lens with focusing
from infinity down to half life-size
(0.5x), and floating optics to insure
sharpness and contrast at anyfocusing
distance. With f/2.5 speed, it’s actually
an ideal general-purpose normal lens
that adds true macro capability, and it’s
great for photographing flat artwork or
subjects because of itsoutstanding
center-to-corner flat field performance.
A dedicated optional accessory Life
Size Converter, available separately,
allows focusing down to full life-size
(1x magnification) and its optics
actually increase working distance from
the front of the lensto the subject.
Life-Size Converter EF
A unique accessory, dedicated
exclusively for the EF 50mm f/2.5
CompactMacro lens. Unlike a
conventional extension tube, the Life
Size Converter EF has a 4-element
optical design that acts like a tele
extender, allowing magnifications from
0.26x to 1x(full life-size) while increasing
the working distance from the front of
the lens to the subject. Opticalquality
is outstanding with the Life Size
Converter EF in place.

Macro Photo
This special-purpose lens is strictly for
high-magnification shooting between
1x (life-size) and 5x—at its closest
focus distance, you can fill the frame
with a grain ofrice. Its optics, dedicated
for macro work, are superb. Focus is
manual only, and there’s a detailed
magnification scale engraved on the
barrel. It includes a tripod collar, and is
fullycompatible with Macro Ring Lite
MR-14EX and Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX.

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.
