The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens is an excellent starting point for those taking an interest in macro photography. This medium-small lens is very light, making it comfortable to carry around. Like other L Series lenses, it is also well-built. The lens sports an Ultrasonic Motor (USM), which allows your camera to focus very fast, as well as being accurate and silent.

The Canon EF 180mm/3.5 L USM Macro Lens is currently Canon's longest tele macro lens. It offers a longer 1:1 macro working distance which helps produce a smooth and exceptional background blur. With a metal detachable tripod mount and nicely sized rubberized focus ring, the lens has an exceptional mechanical quality. The superior build quality of the lens is second to none.

The Canon Life-Size Converter EF Lens is an optional accessory that is specifically designed for the EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro lens. This Life-Size Converter is a mere 5.6 oz and has a maximum diameter x length of 2.7 x 1.4 . Although it is small and extremely light, the converter is a powerful tool with a superb build quality. The converter is what you'd normally expect from a Canon.

The Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro Lens, as the name suggests, is Canon's shortest macro lens -- both in focal and physical length. Though it is designated as a macro lens, the lens only allows for macro focusing of up to a ratio of 1:2 life-size magnification. It is best when combined with the Canon Life-Size Converter EF Lens in order to achieve a full 1:1 life-size magnification and take more detailed photographs of small and tiny subjects.

The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens is a short focal length macro lens that is only naturally compatible with EF-S lens mount DSLRs. Canon has designed this well-built lens to be exceptionally sturdy. Yet, the lens is still compact and light enough for everyday use as it weighs just 11.8 ounces. With a combination of modern design and complete specifications and function, the wide focus ring is easy to use.

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens is one of the newest additions to Canon's macro lenses that sport the new HIS (Hybrid Image Stabilization) feature. Unlike other lenses, the body of this particular lens is made of aluminum, which covers the focus ring, lens mount and name plate part. However, the company has successfully retained the quality that you'd expect from a Canon, as the lens still feels solid and is well built.
