 Excellent, inexpensive choice vs. macro lens May 15, 2008

Takes really good close-ups. Not really a substitute for true macro but, for other than hard core macro shooters, it's close enough; light, inexpensive and very sharp! Use it with a Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 and it does very well.
Great addition to my lenses May 10, 2008

A surpisingly good lens. I have been using it on my Canon 40D with a 70-200mm F/4L and it takes great shots. It works well with a 1.4x teleconverter too. Flowers taken with an off-axis fill flash came out great. You need to get a ring adapter to fit the 77mm 500D to the 72mm 70-200 zoom.
It's not cheap, but the quality is worth it.

Superb optics to shorten the working distance for close-up work, very little color fringing and no visible distortion. Nice piece of glass.
 paired with a sharp lens; GREAT July 18, 2007

The Canon Close Up Lens is a great addition to your collections of lens, if you have one of those L lenses with 77mm , Canon also has the 250D, depending on your lens, please check first.
The Close Up lens is perfect for shoting flowers, bugs, fishes or items you want to sell on ebay :), putting the lens might require some AE +1 compensation, just try and make some test shots before going out, also if you have IS, turn it on.
Overall, i like the lens, better than my extension tubes.

Excellent close up lens. Bit expensive for what it is, but provides what you expect of a quality close up lens. I wish it would provide for larger depth of field. I am using in with my 25-105 f/4L IS USM. I would recommend it to everyone. Canon 500D 77mm Close Up Lens
