Getting Closer [Posted on 2007-05-13] 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
paired with a sharp lens; GREAT [Posted on 2007-07-18] 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.
Optical wonder [Posted on 2007-08-18] Superb optics to shorten the working distance for close-up work, very little color fringing and no visible distortion. Nice piece of glass.
Great addition to my lenses [Posted on 2008-05-10] 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.
Excellent, inexpensive choice vs. macro lens [Posted on 2008-05-15] 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.
