Therefore it is advantageous to have a greater working distance between the camera and such subjects. Longer focal length lens can provide this greater distance, but most long lens do not focus close enough to provide a large image of small subjects. The tele-macro type lens solves this problem by producing a large, high quality image, up to life-size, while maintaining a long working distance. &nbsp; The 180mm F3.5 EX HSM MACRO lens has a very narrow field of view, and can allow very narrow depth-of-field for selective focus and less distracting backgrounds. This lens is most desirable for photographers who are serious about producing high quality images both of macro subjects at life-size reproduction, as well as normal telephotography. /used-equipment/used-lenses/used-canon-fit-lenses/canon-ef-s-18-55mm-f/3.5-5.6-ii/ http://www.mpbphotographic.co.uk/used-equipment/used-lenses/used-canon-fit-lenses/canon-ef-s-18-55mm-f/3.5-5.6-ii/ 2010-07-15 20:32:06<br/><br/>£44.00 - The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II is an excellent standard zoom lens equivalent to 29-88mm in 35mm format.
