Macro telephoto lens for full-frame Canon
The Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM is an L-series prime designed for life-size close-up work and medium-telephoto portraits. It delivers 1:1 magnification with a 1.6' minimum focus distance and an aperture range of f/3.5 to f/32. Three ultra-low dispersion elements and Super Spectra coating control chromatic aberration, flare and ghosting. A ring-type Ultrasonic Motor provides fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override.
EF-mount prime with internal floating focus
The lens fits Canon EF-mount bodies, covering full-frame and APS-C formats. Its internal floating focusing system maintains consistent image quality across the entire focus range without extending the barrel. A detachable, rotatable tripod collar adds stability on a tripod or monopod, while weather-sealed construction protects against dust and moisture. The package includes a 3-piece filter kit, cleaning kit, lens cap keeper, hood, case and caps.
Upgrade from shorter macro or non-L glass
Photographers moving up from shorter focal-length macro lenses gain greater working distance for skittish subjects and a flattering perspective for portraits. The L-series optics and floating element design improve correction and consistency over non-L alternatives. The jump is worthwhile when you need 1:1 magnification with extra stand-off distance, silent USM focusing and professional build quality in a single lens.
