Canon has maybe the ultimate macro lens<\/a> you can buy. It is called Canon MP-E65. It is a somewhat peculiar lens, but if you want magnification and don’t want to build it yourself, this is a lens to consider. \u00a0I recently managed to get hold of one and have played around with it for almost a week now. It is winter in Norway and the kind of images I want to test out is really not possible at the time. So instead of showing you great looking insects and flowers I have opted for an old candle. Or rather a candle wick. Enjoy.<\/p>\n
