Canon Life-Size Converter for 50mm f/2.5 EF Macro Lens

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Canon makes a “life-size converter” for its 50mm f/2.5 EF macro lens. The lens alone only allows you to take photos at a 1:2 ratio, but this adapter allows the lens to focus to a 1:1 “life-size” ratio. It effectively turns your 50mm lens into a 70mm macro lens. Many people have used this combination to take beautiful pictures of insects, flowers, and many other tiny objects!

Unfortunately, the life-size converter is very rare and difficult to find. However, you can purchase one at a great price on eBay. Click here to search for a Canon life-size converter on eBay!

Canon 20-35mm USM f/3.5-4.5 EF Lens

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

The Canon 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens is an excellent wide-angle lens for any Canon EOS SLR camera owner, film or digital! I highly recommend it myself, as I have used it to take some great pictures with my Digital Rebel XT. Optical performance is great – pictures are extremely sharp! And thanks to Canon’s ultra-silent motor (USM) technology, focusing is super-fast and very quiet. The USM technology also allows for full-time focus, meaning that unlike many other lenses, you can adjust the manual focus at any time you like.

At the prices that you can find it for, I would personally recommend it to ANY Canon EOS owner, with a film OR digital camera! Cameras that it works on include Canon Digital Rebel series (including XT, XTi, XSi), 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 1D, 5D, and countless others!

eBay is an excellent place to look for the Canon 20-35mm lens and accessories at an excellent price. Click here to look for Canon 20-35 lenses on eBay!
