Enter a world of intricate beauty as you explore the exciting dimensions of macro photography using this EOS-M macro lens. Capture the most intricate of details with life-size magnification, and focus at just 13 mm from the front of the lens with 1:1.2 Super Macro Mode. An innovative built-in Macro Lite illuminates subjects as you shoot, controlling shine and unwanted shadows whilst the stepping motor technology (STM) allows near-silent focusing which is great for both photo and movies. Get closer with sharper detail thanks to Hybrid IS - especially designed for macro shooting - stabilising camera-shake giving you the freedom and flexibility to shoot hand-held.
