My mom bought two of these blankets, one for me and one for my sister. My sister's blanket stopped working within days. It flashed E and then a number. Mine stopped working about 2 months later, flashing E and 4. I exchanged mine and she returned hers. It has been about 10 months since I exchan

I have to say that much of the information in this book didn't apply to me, but what did pertain to my life was very helpful.

This book should be in the homes of most Americans. The advice the author gives is helpful and should serve well as a guide to getting through the murky finan

For me, Pulitzer Prize Winners are hit or miss. Oscar Wao is a bullseye. I loved everything about it. I read it in two days because I could not put it down. After almost a month, the story still lingers with me and I think about it every day and wish that every book I read bolled me over like TB

Product Description:

50mm macro lens for Canon cameras
Want to bring small things into full-sized view? Turn to the Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 compact macro lens, which can uncover detail that would otherwise be impossible to detect by the naked eye. Ideal for shooting extremely minute subjects such as insects or the petals of a small flower, the lens offers a nine-element design and a floating optical system that focuses down from infinity to one-half life size (0.5x). Despite these macro optics, however, the lens also functions beautifully as a general-purpose normal lens. And should you want to focus down to life size (1:1), you can add an optional Life Size Converter EF to increase the working distance--a valuable feature in close-up shooting. Other details include a 46-degree diagonal angle of view, a 0.8-foot close focusing distance, and a one-year warranty.

Specifications

  • Focal length: 50mm
  • Maximum aperture: f/2.5
  • Lens construction: 9 elements in 8 groups
  • Diagonal angle of view: 46 degrees

  • Closest focusing distance: 0.8 feet
  • Filter size: 52mm
  • Dimensions: 2.7 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches long
  • Weight: 9.9 ounces
  • Warranty: 1 year

A pleasure
11/20/2008
My first Macro lens on the Xti -- I am loving using it so far. The picture clarity is as sharp as can be, lovely background blur, great color. Its a simple lens for a simple job and beyond it also doubles as a pretty great portrait lens.

Excellent for macro not 1x1 and portrail
10/6/2008
I bought it to use as macro, but be careful if you want it to use 1x1. As portrail photografy, is also excellent and very lightful.

Good Macro Lens, But Leaving Me Wanting 100mm
9/18/2008
I bought this lens through a seller on Amazon about 6 months ago and have been very happy with it. The Canon EF 50mm Compact Macro Lens has served as a great introduction into macro lenses and close up photography. It's been a good lens for that purpose, and I would recommend it to any amateur who might be interested in photographing the smaller things in life. However, with continued use, I'm starting to think that I should have bit the bullet and bought the 100mm as opposed to the 50mm. The main reason being that at times, I've found myself having to get extremely close to the subject which makes capturing images of insects and animals difficult and scary at times :)

A pretty nice package.
7/28/2008
If you're looking for a 50mm lens that's sharp, built better than the Canon 50/1.8 and less expensive than the 50/1.4, this is a good choice. Although by no means the best macro lens I've ever used (contrast could be better and its a little soft in the corners if used on full-frame), its the best $200 macro I've ever used.

The reason its going back is that about 1/3 of the time it settled on the wrong focus point. I was a little surprised, given the shallow depth of field when shooting up close. I don't see anybody else having this problem so maybe this is a fluke or one of those Canon adjustments.

But this lens got me thinking....please, Canon, make a few lenses that are this small, this light and very sharp (and please, not too much barrel distortion). I don't care if they are fast; I don't care if they have IS; I don't care if they are plastic; I don't even care what they cost. Instead of trying to make the ultimate 600mm f/2.8, how about the ultimate 28mm f/2.8? I know you can do it.
