Review on 📷 Canon EF 180mm f3.5L Macro USM AutoFocus Telephoto Lens: Explore the Vivid World of Close-Up Photography with Canon SLR Cameras by Julian Banks

I have owned Canon 50mm and 100mm macro lenses for many years, they are excellent lenses and they are much cheaper. If you want to capture insects and other small, shy creatures outdoors, the 180mm macro lens is the right choice. Optically, the lens is excellent in every respect. The "slow" focusing is a function of the wide range of lens focal lengths, usually manual focusing is used for macro photography - for normal photography you can use the focus limiter to reduce the focusing time. Build quality is excellent - although the included lens hood is of fairly cheap plastic construction, it still works great. I almost always use this lens on a tripod - in macro photography you usually work with smaller apertures (f8-f16). , so relatively slow shutter speeds are the rule - a tripod ring makes the transition from portrait to landscape format very easy. In addition, this quality of this lens allows you to use the Canon 1.4x teleconverter with minimal loss of quality, which significantly increases the "range” of this lens. This lens is a good "short" general purpose telephoto lens, but not for sports or action photography. The best alternatives are Canon EF 70-200 lenses or 200mm f/2.8 lenses. very useful addition
