Here is my answer to this member's question:A: Dear eBay Member,To
answer your question directly, many EF Series zoom with the "Macro" focusing range do a very
credible job with close-ups (for a "zoom" model). However, they do not offer the
maximum possible image magnification. The "Closest Focusing Distance" is
quite near to the "subject", but not the closest possible. For really
close-focus macro pictures you might need a "True Macro Prime" (fixed
focal length) model that can get VERY close to your subject (less than
12").Canon makes two excellent REAL macro lenses that are
capable of very high magnification, the EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact-Macro and
the EF 100 f/2.8 Macro. There are no "TRUE MACRO" zooms, that
capability is reserved for "PRIME" lenses only.If you want to
capture things that the eye does not usually see, you need a real "TRUE
MACRO" prime lens. I like the 50mm Compact-Macro because it is
affordable and it produces outstanding results. If you need 1:1
"Life-Size" images, you may add the Canon EF Life-Size Adapter that
works specifically with this great lens.I have a review of that
model in eBay Reviews
