New Super Macro Lens! Canon MP-E 65 mm f/2.8

We picked up a new Macro lens for ultra close shots. The Canon EF MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro. The MPE is unlike any of the other lenses made by Canon. It has a single magnification ring that allows the lens to extend from 1x to 5x. At the 5x magnification, the Canon MPE 65 is almost a foot long and incredibly challenging to operate. The effective f-stop at that magnification is high thus making the view nearly pitch black. A combination of strong light and high ISO performance is necessary to get useable video.

The lens is also extremely sensitive to any slightest bump making a tripod necessary. Perhaps the most aggravating aspect of the Canon MPE 65 is the lack of focus ring. In order to properly focus the MPE, one has to use a macro focus rail to move the whole camera in and out.

In the end, the Canon MP-E 65mm macro is capable of closeup shots unlike any other.
