I'm wanting to take real close ups of eyes, and wanted to know if this would work well for that with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II?

It fits all three of my canon lens. I took a close up of a coin, magnified the words very huge.

Yes the Raynox will work with the Canon lens if the filter ring is between 52 and 67mm.

I'm using this with canon ef 85mm f/1.8 USM and canon ef 35mm f/2 works fine even with auto focus just a little bit slow on focusing so mostly I use manual focus also worked with sigma 18-250mm

Here is a greast site for lens discussions. www.dpreview.com Go to the forum for Canon lens talk. The 50mm 1.8 is a great portrait lens. It's fantastic in low light conditions. Just treat it with utmost care as the build is not great and there have been many of a complaint on how easy it can fall apart. As a previous poster mentioned the EF-S 17-85 is a good choice. It has full time manual focus with IS. As an every day multi purpose lens this is a nice lens. I also have this lens. The only problem I have with it is the low light shots. It is too slow. If used with External Flash it is fine. That's why I bought the prime lens. I just have to use my feet for zoom. You are going to have a lot of fun using AV mode with the 50mm and playing around with WB and ISO. Enjoy!

I use it with my T4i camera lens 70-300 and have found it works well for close upHave not tried distant shots yet

I have the Canon 50mm 1.4. The Bokeh is not very good. not a good choice for macro. I'm now looking for a macro lens.

Yes, it will work with that lens size, but you have to check the maximum aperture. I think the minimum the lens should be f2.2. I try it with f3.5 of aperture and didn't work, but with the lens 50mm f1.8 works perfect. I hope this help.

Hi, thanks question. I think this lens is good for portraits. My recommendation is AF-S 50mm F1.8G, AF-S 35mm F1.8G. If certain distance is short focus , would be good if necessary zoom can afford. Thanks in advance.

Yes. Just remember that your depth of field is going to be very narrow at widers apertures.... But you can get very nice pictures with it for those purposes.

I'm sure it will be fine. I primarily use it with my 50 mm so I can't imagine the 40 not being good. I have also used it with the 18-55 kit and I can still be at somewhat of a workable distance down to about 30mm. Remember with these, the shorter the focal length, the closer you will have to be to the subject. You will have to be very close with the 40mm and all attachments - However, you don't have to use all of them. I do love this piece of equipment and use it often.

i think it'll do alright with that. i'm using a Canon T2i with a big lens and it does ok. It takes time to get good with it though (and will all these stabilizers)

This lens works great at F8 or more. Hand-holding is possible if you have good technique.I have tried using TC's on this lens, but to be honest, you are better off not bothering. If you want a bit more reach, get closer to your subject and use an extension tube. For some sample images, check out the recent section of my website www.nicksaundersnature.com

Very! But the shots taken by it are worth the effort. As the other commenters said, you should slow down and set it up properly...... this is not your regular point and shoot to go type of lens. And it's extremely bulbous and heavy with a lot of knobs...... good luck!

Unless you are shooting videos of close up images like insects, I wouldn't suggest this lens. That said, this is an excellent lens for what it was designed to do. I use it on a 70D.

For macro work you would really want a lens ratio of 5:1, but as you can imagine those are a bit pricey. In response to your question of whether or not it is good for macro work, I would say it's alright. There is such a thing as a poor mans macro which is essentially four filters you place on your lens with various levels of magnification. This is a very affordable option as it will probably cost you less than 20 dollars. However, in doing so your depth of field will be very shallow. I suggest googling and doing research about it before you make a purchase.

I am using it one a 5D MIII and am quite happy with the lens. I got it for time-lapse with the manual aperture feature. So far very happy with the lens for the price.

Well, I think it's great. For a lot of my macro/close-up shots, I use this camera instead of my mirrorless cameras. It'll let you get in darned close. Bill

hello Mr HickeyI would believe so, since it is interchangeable with the Canon lenses. (it is not system specific) all it does is let you get closer to the subject (ring, jewelry, flowers, etc) Close up lenses comes in different magnifications.If you are planning to use this to get up close to far away subjects like birds - you need the "extender" instead. Extenders comes in 1.4X and 2X, which makes your 200mm long-end into a 400mm f/5.6 (you loss two stops of light)hope that help.
