Review: Pro Macro lens - I have been into photography for many many year, and have always had a spot for macro pictures. I have used other macro lenses before, but nothing compares to this. It is a speciallity lens, and it can be used for nothing else than macro, but WOW it does it well. It can produce images from 1:1 to 1:5 ! Yes, 5 times real life, that is CLOSE UP MACRO. It does not have any focus system, so all focus is manual, and can only be done by moving the lens and camera back and forth. I HIGHLY recomend some kind of focus rail system and tripod. ESSENTIAL for using this lens. It can be hand held with success, but it requires a steady hand. It extends to almost 25 cm when shooting at 5x and it is a bit heavy, so get a sturdy tripod. DOF is very easy to control, and image quality is very high. Highly recomended to the serious macro photographer. Also, ring flash is a MUST HAVE item with this. Optionally one or two external flashes for better light control. Review: It's a macro only lens - So im a casual photographer and would say im more of a beginner. This lens is my most unique len i own since you can't use it for anything other than macro images and is NOT very easy for me to use. Only because it takes me a long while to set up the image in question; how people take images of flys or animals is beyond me. That being said the images can take can be VERY close up and high quality. The image im uploading is at x1 if you want to compare this to the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens (link: https://www.desertcart.com/Canon-100mm-Macro-Digital-Cameras/dp/B002NEGTSI/ref=pd_sbs_421_1/134-6636504-8069954?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B002NEGTSI&pd_rd_r=d5dde6c8-413c-4a8e-9f80-2e893c0b75fd&pd_rd_w=TuElO&pd_rd_wg=cNEX8&pf_rd_p=d66372fe-68a6-48a3-90ec-41d7f64212be&pf_rd_r=N2BJ1GQSA54HRPTSN7AH&psc=1&refRID=N2BJ1GQSA54HRPTSN7AH) it's kinda of like apples to oranges. Since the 100mm can be used for a lot more than macro images. This lens is 100% macro only and can get VERY close to the target in question. ## Features - Focal Length & Maximum Aperture: 65mm 1:2.8 Lens Construction: 10 elements in 8 groups Diagonal Angl ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00009XVD5 | | Best Sellers Rank | #921 in SLR Camera Lenses #49,811 in Camera & Photo Accessories | | Brand | Canon | | Built-In Media | E58 Lens cap, Rear Lenscap, Removable tripod | | Camera Lens | 65 month | | Camera Lens Description | 65 month | | Color | Black | | Compatible Camera Mount | Canon EF | | Compatible Mountings | Canon EF | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 106 Reviews | | Exposure Control Type | Automatic | | Focal Length Description | Macro | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00082966214219 | | Image stabilization | Optical | | Item Part Number | 2540A003 | | Item Weight | 710 Grams | | Lens | Macro | | Lens Coating Description | Super Spectra | | Lens Design | Prime | | Lens Fixed Focal Length | 65 Millimeters | | Lens Mount | Canon EF | | Lens Type | Macro | | Manufacturer | Canon Cameras US | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2540A002 | | Maximum Focal Length | 65 Millimeters | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Aperture | 16 | | Minimum Focal Length | 65 Millimeters | | Model Name | macro lens | | Model Number | 2540A002 | | Number of Diaphragm Blades | 6 | | Photo Filter Size | 58 Millimeters | | Real Angle Of View | 18.5 Degrees | | UPC | 082966214219 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Zoom Ratio | 1:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Canon - **Focal Length Description:** Macro - **Lens Type:** Standard - **Compatible Mountings:** Canon EF - **Camera Lens Description:** 65 month ## Images ![Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XtiRCLp1L.jpg) ![Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714btHQE-6L.jpg) ![Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21LiCfVo8NL.jpg) ![Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/418E4VFqWbL.jpg) ![Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vLpOd0-AL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this an ef mount lens? if it lists this, i missed it. the photo has a red dot, but i just want to confirm, thanks.** A: This lens will work on both full-frame and crop cameras. I have personally used it on the 7D and the 5D Mark III. Canon doesn't list it as either EF or EF-S, it's simply listed as "E" (as in MP-E) :-) **Q: Can anyone compare this lens to using extension tubes on a canon efs 18-55 mm macro 0.25m/0.8ft as this is what i've been doing for macro photography?** A: I do macro photography (catalog photography) on a regular bases. Although using extension tubes is a suitable substitute in macro photography, the real problem is "ease of usage". With a quick change of lens, my MP-E 65mm macro lens is ready to go for most general macro photos.... it is so much easier than using extension tubes. I can achieve a full range of close-up to easily capture the image I am seeking. Also, because it adjusts automatically, it is a no fuss answer to high quality Macro photography. If you can't afford it or if you only occasionally do macro work, extension tubes are a less expensive option; still, they are more of a struggle to use. I love my Canon MP-E 65mm lens, it is my favorite of all lenses to use. **Q: How do you get dust out? I just received this lens today and as soon as I extended it all the way I can see a big piece of dust that I'm not able to wipe off.** A: If the dust is on the lens, you can blow it away with a blower, or clean with a lens cleaner. But, here's something to keep in mind. I also noticed a lot of dust when I used this camera. Here's a picture with the example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/blokh/7556804584/sizes/l/in/photostream/The dust was actually on the sensor and I didn't see it before. So I cleaned up the sensor and it is gone now. **Q: when is the warranty period for the 65mm macro lens, if any?** A: new lens comes with one (1) year warranty ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pro Macro lens *by B***D on October 25, 2008* I have been into photography for many many year, and have always had a spot for macro pictures.

This is absolutely NOT the first macro lens you should buy if you think you might be interested in small object and small-scale nature photography. But if you get a standard macro lens like Canon's superb 100mm f/2.8 macro lens and learn the challenges of close-up photography from that one, it is possible that this would be the next macro lens you should consider acquiring once you find that you have the patience for close-up work. A standard macro lens is usually a prime (fixed focal length) lens with extended focusing capacity in the nearby range that will let you get an object:image proportion of 1:1 -- that is, a 36 x 24mm sensor will record a frame-filling image of a real world object of the same size. In some instances, such a macro lens may cooperate with an accessory extension tube to achieve the 1:1 ratio or in some cases take you a little beyond it so that the image is larger than the photographed object. But an extension tube on a prime lens shifts its entire focusing range, so that you lose the ability to focus at infinity while the extension tube has granted you the power to focus more closely at the other end. The MP-E 65mm lens is a dedicated macro lens with NO infinity setting and whose farthest focusing distance -- only a few inches -- permits no proportion less than 1:1 reproduction. Extending the lens body effectively gives you an image that is 5X life size. At this setting, a bee's face fills the entire image frame. Illumination is a problem in extreme close up photography because less and less light is available to record larger and larger images of small objects. In distance photography you would simply open up the aperture or go to a long exposure, but in macro photography large apertures have terrible depth of focus and longer exposures are not indicated because of the potential camera motion that may occur even on tripod-mounted cameras. The trick is to use macro flashes (another expense!) that will pour a lot of light onto a subject in an instant. This allows you to use a preferred small aperture. Shake and blur are defeated by the brevity of the flash. This lens is not an autofocus lens, but that is not a limitation. In macro photography you want to focus manually -- either by turning the ring on the lens or moving the entire camera body forward or back by a millimeter or fraction thereof. In usual practice moving the camera is easier. The aperture remains under program control, however, and a macro flash will dump the correct amount of light for the aperture you have chosen. For the professional macro photographer and dedicated amateur with sufficient patience, there is no other single solution out there that lets you easily take the kinds of pictures you can get with this lens. It is always possible, of course, to reverse a standard lens on the front of a cloth bellows and put your camera body on the other end, but then you lose any automatic functionality whatsoever and are obliged to do a lot of exposure calculations (or go through a lot of trial and error exposures) to get what you want. For recorded images up to five times life size, it is hard to beat this lens. But to repeat my original caution, please don't use this lens to introduce yourself to macrophotography. This is the lens you should graduate to after learning the ropes on a less challenging lens. And it wouldn't hurt to read a good introduction to macrophotography so that you understand the problems of reduced light levels and depth of focus that come into play. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1798956-canon-mp-e-65mm-f-2-8-1-5x-macro](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1798956-canon-mp-e-65mm-f-2-8-1-5x-macro) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
