Is the canon ef 180mm f 3 5l macro usm good for macro photography?

The Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM is a macro lens, so it's built for this job. Its 180mm focal length keeps you a comfortable distance from small subjects like insects and flowers, and it's autofocus. Because it isn't stabilised, you'll want a tripod or a fast shutter speed for handheld close-ups.

On a full frame body such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV or the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, it frames at 180mm as marked. On an APS-C body like the Canon EOS 80D or the Canon EOS 90D, it behaves like about 288mm on full frame, which gives you even more reach for skittish subjects.

For the full specs and every body it fits, see the lens page.
