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 Zha Rivera

I used this lens or the Canon 100mm F/2.8 because it had image stabilization. However, most macro photography really needs to be on a tripod with a trigger, so the lack of IS didn't matter. One thing about macro photography that requires using a tripod is focus overlay. Since you need to shoot multiple exposures with different focus, a tripod is a must. Therefore, image stabilization is not that important in macro photography. The big advantage of this lens is that it doesn't startle the subject because you don't have to get that close, 18 inches for this lens compared to 12 for 100mm. I've used this lens handheld and it's fairly easy to set the aperture to F11 with a fairly fast shutter speed and using the flash makes it easy. Newer cameras also perform much better at higher ISOs and I've had good results with my 7D Mark II ISO at ISO 6400 and using software noise reduction. Faster shutter speeds are possible with higher ISO values. This lens has super sharpness, which is to be expected for its price. This is a good telephoto lens but you have to keep in mind that there is no image stabilization and you need a tripod for longer exposures, I only use it as a macro lens. I had a Canon 100 f/2.8 and it's a fantastic lens. So if price is an issue and you don't want to use a tripod, then this is the lens for you. The main advantage of this lens is that you can get closer to your subject without leaving it. I would really recommend any of these, but I would go with this over 100mm lens because I like shooting hard-to-move targets.
