MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo

This is the first macro photo lensdesigned to achieve a highmagnification greater than 1xwithout additional accessories. Itis ideal for small subjects. Thenewly designed optical formulaand UD-glass elements suppresschromatic aberrations whichbecome apparent at highmagnifications. For flashphotography, Macro Ring LiteML-3 can be attached to thelens.

EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

Autofocus lens for macrophotography up to life-size (1x)magnification. Inner focusingaffords a long working distanceof 149mm (at 1x). A3-groupfloating system results inexcellent delineation at allfocusing distances. Ring USMfor silent and high-speed AF, andfull-time manual focusing alsoprovided. The optional TripodMount Ring (B) B (with adapter)enables the lens to be rotated forvertical or horizontal framing.

Extension Tube EF 12 Extension Tube EF 25

Dedicated to EF lenses, theseExtension Tubes are installedbetween the prime lens andcamera body. It is a simple wayto enable close-ups at highmagnifications. Themagnification depends on theprime lens used. With a standardzoom lens, the EF 12 can give amagnification of 0.3x to 0.5x,and the EF 25 can give amagnification of 0.7x or higher.Although autoexposure ispossible, manual focusing orusing the focus aid isrecommended.

Close-up Lens 250D Close-up Lens 500D Close-up Lens 500

The simplest way to take close-ups. Just screw on the Close-upLens on the front of a primelens, then shoot. The 250D and500D have two achromaticelements which suppresschromatic aberrations. Evenwhile attached to an L-series EFzoom lens, the Close-up Lensdoes not affect the prime lens’optical performance. High imagequality is maintained. The 500 isa more affordable Close-up Lenshaving only one lens element.

EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM

Another telephoto macro lens with amaximum magnification of 1x. Life-sizeclose-ups can be taken from a fartherdistance without disturbing the subject(insects, etc.). The internal floating systemminimizes fluctuations in aberrationscaused by changes in the focusingdistance. The delineation is thereforerazor-sharp from 1x to infinity.

For Advanced Photo WorkWith a Canon TS-E lens, you can control the angle of the plane of focus and thepicture’s perspective. The effects of large-format camera movements can be obtainedwith TS-E lenses for EOS cameras. Although manual focusing is required, automaticaperture control enables autoexposure and autoexposure bracketing. The tilt and shiftaxes intersect at a 90û angle. They can be made parallel at an authorized CanonService Facility (modified at owner’s expense).

TS-E 24mm f/3.5L

Compact, wide-angle lens whichenables tilt and shift movements.The floating optical system, withan aspherical lens element,corrects distortion and otheraberrations. High image qualityand compactness are the result.Great for architecture,landscapes and other wide-angleshots.

TS-E 45mm f/2.8

Normal lens featuring tilt andshift movements. The floatingsystem and rear focusing givesharp and stable delineationfrom 0.4 m to infinity. The45mm focal length is ideal forobtaining a natural-lookingperspective.

TS-E 90mm f/2.8

This is the world’s first 35mm-format lens with tilt and shiftmovements. Gaussian opticsgive high-quality delineation andtrue background blur. The lens issuited for a variety of subjects,from products to portraits.

TS-E Lens MovementsTS-E lenses are capable of tilt and shift movements which greatly expand picture-takingpossibilities. Tilt movements alter the angle of the plane of focus between the lens and filmplane, and shift movements move the lens’ optical axis in parallel.

TS-E Lenses

Tilt movementsIf you want to bring the entirelength of the hedge into focus,you could use a wide-angle lensand a small aperture to obtain awide depth of field (Photo 1-a).With tilt movements, you canachieve this wide depth of fieldeven at the maximum aperture.By tilting the center of the TS-Elens barrel, you can tilt the lensso that the plane of focus isuniform on the film plane (Photo 1-b).

Shift movementsNormally, when you point yourcamera up at a tall building, thebuilding will look slimmertoward the top. It becomestrapezoidal (Photo 2-a). Thisperspective effect is morepronounced with shorter lensfocal lengths, distorting thebuilding even more. By alteringthe parallel position between thelens and the film plane with theTS-E lens, this perspective effectcan be corrected. With thecamera’s film plane set parallelto the building, shifting the lensupward will obtain a morerectangular-looking building(Photo 2-b).

Technology Where It CountsCanon’s innovations put your images on film quickly, quietly, and easily withoutstanding results.

Ultrasonic Motors (USM)The Ultrasonic Motor (USM) inCanon EF lenses is the world’sfirst lens-based motor. Based on atotally new technology, the motorspins by ultrasonic oscillation en-ergy. The USM is quiet andquick. It has made EF lenses al-most noiseless and autofocusingfast, precise, and practical. Thedirect-drive construction is verysimple, with no gear train. Thismakes it durable and efficient. Italso consumes little power.Two types of USM are used:Ring-type USM and micro USM.The former type is found in large-aperture and super telephotolenses, while the latter is used inmore compact lenses. Using theoptimum type of USM in the lensresults in maximum efficiencyand effectiveness.

Aspherical lensesOrdinary spherical elements havean inherent flaw in that the pointof focus for the lens center doesnot match that of the lens periph-ery. Spherical aberrations oflarge-aperture lenses and distor-tion by ultra-wide-angle lensescannot be resolved with sphericalelements alone. The asphericallens element was therefore devel-oped.

The curvature of the lens elementis calculated and shaped toachieve the ideal single point offocus. The result is high contrastwith minimal flare even with alarge-aperture lens. Distortioncan also be effectively correctedin ultra-wide-angle lenses.Canon started to develop manu-facturing technology for aspheri-cal elements early on. We eventu-ally succeeded in establishing amass-production grinding andpolishing process with a polish-ing precision of 5/10,000 mm. In1971, Canon marketed the FD55mm f/1.2AL lens, featuring theworld’s first aspherical lens ele-ment. This was followed bymany other Canon lenses incor-porating aspherical elements andthey were well received.Also, Canon developed mass-production technology for glass-molded aspherical elements andreplicated aspherical lenses. Theformer was produced by an ultra-high-precision aspherical lensmolding machine which shapedthe glass directly. For the latter,the aspherical surface wasformed by ultraviolet-hardenedresin film applied on a sphericalelement. Canon has developednumerous compact-size lensestaking full advantage of aspheri-cal elements to attain high imagequality.

Fluorite (CaF2) and UD glassThe refraction of light differs de-pending on the wavelength. Thepoint of focus therefore differsdepending on the different wave-length or color. When the differ-ent wavelengths are focused at

different points, the colors looksmeared. This is called chromaticaberration. The longer the focallength, the more pronouncedchromatic aberration becomes.Usually, an achromatic elementis used in a lens to correct chro-matic aberration. However, nor-mal optical glass can only becorrected for two primary spec-tral colors. An exception to thislimitation is fluorite, an idealmaterial. Fluorite, which is crys-talline, has abnormally low re-fraction and low dispersion char-acteristics which optical glasscannot achieve. It also has anom-alous dispersion from the greento blue wavelengths. Canon de-veloped production technologiesto manufacture fluorite. By in-corporating fluorite in lenses, thepoints of focus of the three pri-mary spectral colors of red,green, and blue all meet at onepoint for ideal correction ofchromatic aberration. There isalso UD glass which is a specialtype of optical glass whose prop-erties nearly match those of fluo-rite. The effect of two UD-glasselements is equivalent to havingone fluorite element. And onesuper UD-glass element gives al-most the same effect as one fluo-rite element.

Large, fully electronic mount systemThe conventional interface be-tween the lens and camera bodywas mechanical, with the use ofengaging levers and gears. Thismethod caused physical prob-lems such as wear and rattle. Itwas limited and more diverse in-formation could not be ex-changed. Canon EF lenses do

not use such mechanical links atall. About 50 items of informa-tion are exchanged as digital sig-nals between the lens and cam-era in real time. This enableshigh-speed and high-precisioncontrol.And since the lens mount diam-eter is an ample 54 mm, speciallenses such as large-aperturelenses and TS-E lenses can beused. The EF mount is an ad-vanced interfacing system withinfinite possibilities.

Built-in motor and EMDCanon EF lenses (except TS-Elenses) have a built-in AF motor.Compared to camera body-basedAF motors, lens-based motorshave driving energy with lowertransmission loss. The optimumAF motor for the particular lenscan also be selected and installed.The AF operation is thereforequick, quiet, and highly precise.The lenses also have an EMD(Electromagnetic Diaphragm) tocontrol the aperture electronical-ly. The aperture can be set eitherwith an electronic dial or with theelectronic pulse signal sent ac-cording to the exposure reading.Aperture control precision istherefore unmatched.

Inner focusing and rear focusingAn inner focusing lens has the fo-cusing lens group(s) in front ofthe diaphragm, while a rear fo-cusing lens has the focusing lensgroup(s) behind the diaphragm.Both focusing systems allow thefocusing lens group to be small.This minimizes the load on the

actuator which drives theautofocus. In turn, the AF speedis faster. The whole optical sys-tem can also be made more com-pact. Also, since the lens does notrotate during focusing, the effectsof a circular polarizing filter orgelatin filter remain intact.

Full-time manual focusingCanon EF lenses and EOS cam-eras have very high AF preci-sion. Optimum focus can beachieved quickly for almostany shooting situation. RecentEOS cameras have beenequipped with multiple focus-ing points for higher flexibilityin composing a photo whileusing AF.Picture-taking is even moreflexible with Canon’s full-timemanual focusing which over-rides the autofocusing mode.Lenses with this feature allowyou to switch to manual focus-ing even in the AF mode. Youcan keep looking through theviewfinder and touch up thefocus manually without switch-ing the focus mode switch.Since the focusing ring doesnot rotate during autofocusing,we could make it wider for bet-ter holding comfort and easiermanual focusing. Another er-gonomic design which lets youconvey your intentions quickly.Full-time manual focusingcomes in two types. One iselectronic manual focusingwhere the rotation amount ofthe focusing ring is detectedand the focusing motor is dri-ven electronically. The othertype is mechanical manual fo-

cusing where the rotation of thefocusing ring adjusts the focusmechanically.

Focus presetWith the focus preset feature, youcan set the desired focusing dis-tance in memory and later in-stantly focus the lens at that dis-tance. Normal picture-taking andfocusing are possible even whilefocus preset has been set. At asoccer game, for example, youcan preset the focus for the goal.You can focus normally while theplayer approaches the goal, thenwhen the ball is shot into thegoal, you can obtain instantfocus.

Floating systemOrdinary lenses are designed togive the best results when thecorrection of aberrations is mosteffective. This is usually at themost commonly-used focusingdistances. At other focusing dis-tances, especially at the closestfocusing distance, aberrationstend to appear.Canon’s floating system sup-presses aberrations at close fo-cusing distances. This system ad-justs the gap between certain lenselements in correspondence tothe focusing distance. The aber-ration is effectively corrected.The result is high image qualitywith aberrations suppressed at allfocusing distances.

Image Stabilizer

No matter how great the lens is,camera shake can spoil the shot.Blurred photos due to camerashake usually occur when theshutter speed is slower than thereciprocal of the lens focallength. For example, a shutterspeed slower than 1/200 sec. atthe 200mm focal length can in-vite a blurred photo caused bycamera shake. In such cases, atripod is necessary.However, a tripod can be aheavy and troublesome burdenwhen you go hiking or traveling.There are even places whereusing tripods is prohibited.Usinga slow shutter speed thenbecomes difficult. To resolvethis problem, Canon became thefirst manufacturer to incorporatean Image Stabilizer in an SLRcamera lens. Optical shake is de-tected by gyro sensors whichprovide the data necessary toshift the image-stabilizing lensgroup in parallel to neutralizethe shake. This increases the us-able shutter speed range by up to2 full steps for hand-held shoot-ing.Except for the EF 28-135mmf/3.5-5.6 IS USM and EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lenses,IS lenses have two IS modes.One is for normal image stabi-lization and the other is forpanned shots. With a monopod,the Image Stabilizer on all ISlenses operates normally as dur-ing hand-held shooting. Also,the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM,EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM, EF500mm f/4L IS USM, and EF600mm f/4L IS USM lenseshave a mechanism that preventsmisoperation with the ImageStabilizer turned on while the

lens is mounted on a tripod.

AF Stop FeatureAF stop is featured on the EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM, EF400mm f/2.8L IS USM, EF500mm f/4L IS USM, and EF600mm f/4L IS USM lenses. Ifsomething passes between thecamera and subject during autofo-cusing, this feature stops the AFoperation momentarily to preventthe focus from shifting to the ob-struction passing by. After the ob-struction is gone, the focus is stillmaintained on the subject and youcan quickly resume shooting. TheAF stop buttons are positioned atfour locations around the lensgrip at the front of the lens foreasy access during both horizon-tal and vertical shooting.

Dust- and Water-ResistantConstructionThe new EF 300mm f/2.8L ISUSM, EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM,EF 500mm f/4L IS USM, and EF600mm f/4L IS USM lenses arehighly dust- and water-resistant.The switch panel, exterior seams,and drop-in filter compartmenthave rubber linings. Movingparts such as the focusing ringand switches are also designed toprevent water and dust from en-tering. These lenses can thereforebe used in harsh conditions with-out dust and water getting inside.*The lens is equipped with a rub-ber ring on the mount to improveits dustproofing and waterproof-ing characteristics. As the lens isrepeatedly mounted and de-tached, the rubber ring will leavefine abrasion marks on the out-side of the camera mount. Thiswill not affect operation.

Description of Lens DesignationThe lens designations follow a standard format to identify the lens.

EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

EF Lenses

Focal length:Indicates the focallength range fromthe shortest tolongest length.(See below fordetails.)

Maximum aper-ture: Indicatesthe lens’ maxi-mum aperture.(See below fordetails.)

Special Function:Any special fea-ture such as animage stabilizer,macro feature,etc., is indicated.

USM: Indicatesthat the lens usesan UltrasonicMotor for autofo-cusing. (See page22 for details.)

Focal lengthA focal length of 50mm is closest to what the eye sees. This focal length isused as a reference point for lens categories. For example, lenses with ashorter focal length are called wide-angle lenses, while those with a longerfocal length are called telephoto lenses. Single focal length lenses have onlyone focal length, while zoom lenses have a range of focal lengths. (When EFlenses are used with the EOS IX, the focal length corresponds to 1.25 timesthat indicated for 35mm cameras.)

Angle of viewThis indicates how much coverage of the scene you can see through the lens.Telephoto lenses have a narrower angle of view than wide-angle lenses.

Angle of view and perspectivePerspective refers to the distance between the near and far objects that youcan see at the same time. When the angle of view is wide (with a shorterfocal length), the perspective becomes more apparent. And with a narrowangle of view (with a longer focal length), the perspective becomes lessapparent. The image also becomes more compressed, with the far objectslooking like they are right behind the nearer objects.

Maximum apertureThis indicates the speed of the lens. A fast lens has a large maximum aper-ture, allowing more light to enter. The smaller the maximum aperture’s f-number, the larger the aperture opening is. A larger maximum aperturemakes the image look brighter and easier to see through the viewfinder. Youcan also use a faster shutter speed or obtain better background blur. On theother hand, a smaller maximum aperture (the f-number is larger) allows thelens to be more compact and light.Single focal length lenses have only one maximum aperture while zoomlenses may have two, one for each end of the focal length range. For exam-ple, a EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 lens has a maximum aperture of f/3.5 at 28mmand f/5.6 at 80mm.

Aperture and shutter speedUnder the same light level, if the aperture opening is made larger by onestep, the shutter speed can be increased by one step. For example, if an aper-ture of f/5.6 and shutter speed of 1/60 sec. are set, adjusting the aperture tof/4 will enable a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. to be used. An aperture of f/2.8will allow a faster shutter speed of 1/250 sec. while the same exposure levelis maintained.

Depth of fieldNormally, there is only one point of optimum focus. However, we often seeobjects in front of or behind this point also in focus. This is made possibleby a wide depth of field.

Depth of field with the aperture and focal lengthThe depth of field is mainly determined by the lens focal length, aperture,and subject distance. For example, if a wide-angle lens is used at the mini-mum aperture, almost everything in the picture will be in focus. However, ifa telephoto lens is used at maximum aperture, the background will be real-ly blurred, making the subject in focus stand out.

Protect FiltersThis neutral filter protects your valuable lens while maintaining perfect color balance. Its Super Spectra Coating pre-vents harmful light reflections. It can be used for general shooting.

Skylight FiltersThis light amber skylight filter is for use with both black-and-white and color film for daylight exposures on sunny days.This filter reduces the blue cast that occurs due to sky and water reflections and when photographing subjects in shad-ows. By blocking short wavelengths on sunny days, this filter warms color temperature slightly but does not alter expo-sure. Can be used for general photography.

UV FiltersThis colorless filter absorbs ultraviolet light without cutting visible light. Its use is most effective on sunny days for cut-ting haze in distant landscape shots, especially when using black-and-white film. The filter has no effect on exposureand minimal effect on color temperature. UV filters can also be used as a protective filter for general photography.

ND4L FiltersNeutral density (ND) filters are used with color or black-and-white film to reduce light entering the lens to one-fourth theoriginal level (two f/stops) at all wavelengths. This high-quality L-class filter features a light-absorbent material that isvacuum-deposited on the surface.

ND8L FiltersThis filter reduces light entering the lens to one-eighth the original level (three f/stops). The ND8L is invaluable for large-aperture and slow-shutter-speed photography.

PL-C FiltersPolarizing filter enhances picture quality by blocking harmful reflected light. Use it to reduce polarized light reflectionsfrom glass and water surfaces or to improve color saturation. Simple to use, circular polarizing filters (such as Canon’sPL-C) polarize light circularly, rather than linearly, so it does not interfere with autofocus or TTL light metering.

Drop-in Filters PL-CDrop-in Filters PL-C can be rotated from the outside without removing them from the lens for precise control. The48mm PL-C filter can be used with the following lenses- EF 200mm f/1.8L USM and EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM; the 52mm PL-C filter is designed for use with the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM, EF400mm f/2.8L IS USM, EF 500mm f/4L ISUSM and EF 600mm f/4L IS USM.

Gelatin Filter Holders III & IVGelatin Filter Holder III uses 3x3-inchi gelatin filters and Gelatin Filter Holder IV uses 4x4-inch gelatin filters. HoldersIII and IV both provide extension hoods and ø52 mm, 58 mm, 67 mm, 72 mm and 77 mm adapters. Refer to the EFLens Accessory Table for information on lens combinations.

Drop-in Gelatin Filter HoldersThese glass-backed holders accept up to three commercially available cut-to-size gelatin filters for rear-insertion lens-es.

To Obtain The Best Results With Your Canon EOS Camera Use Original Canon EF Lenses.

As a Canon EOS owner, you will achieve better results in your photography using Canon’s EF lenses. Every EOS camera body and EF lens has its own built-in micro-computer. These

microcomputers store a range of special data and ensure the smooth operation of the complete camera, including the operation of such functions as the autofocus, exposure control, etc. In addition, electronic mounts linking every EOS body and EF lens support two-way digital

communication for a more efficient exchange of information.

Since the EOS system’s market launch in 1987, new functions have continually been added. These enhancements include speeding up the AF function, increasing the number of focusing points and incorporating the Eye-Controlled Focusing feature. As the range of functions has

evolved, the system of communications between lens and body has also evolved to ensure that complete compatibility is maintained between them. This evolutionary process will continue in

the future with the introduction of new specifications, resulting in further gains in reliability.

In brief, you’ll make the most of the EOS system’s many functions and obtain the optimum optical performance by using Canon EF lenses and accessories. Only these are designed and

manufactured to match the special characteristics of your EOS camera.
