Best camera for the canon ef 180mm f 3 5l macro usm?

The 180mm f/3.5L is a macro lens, so the best body depends on what you shoot. On full frame, such as the Canon EOS 6D Mark II or the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, it frames as marked at 180mm. That gives you room to work from a comfortable distance with insects and small flowers.

For more reach, try an APS-C body like the Canon EOS 90D or the Canon EOS 80D. There the lens works like about 288mm on full frame, and f/3.5 gives roughly the depth of field of f/5.6. That's handy for small, skittish subjects.

Full frame costs more in size and price, and it gives you less depth of field, which can be a problem in macro work. Before you decide, read Sensor sizes.
