MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo

A unique manual-focus lens designed exclusively for macro shooting, between life-size (1x) and 5x life-size – at its maximum magnification, you can fill a 35mm frame with a grain of rice. Compatible with the Macro Ring Lites and new Macro Twin Lite, it eliminates the need for awkward bellows accessories for many macro shooters. A floating system preserves optical quality at different focusing distances, and features a UD-glass element. Sample Image MTF Chart

Beautiful
Date: November 27, 2009
Pros: Superior build quality, Super-sharp images, breathtaking magnification
Cons: doesn't focus to infinity
This is an amazing lens, which opens up a whole new world of imaging possibilities. The quality and materials are top-grade. The magnification is almost beyond belief; you can actually take portraits of snowflakes with this lens. the 1 to 5x zoom gives a good amount of flexibility in how much magnification to use, however, it doesn't focus to infinity... it's strictly for super close-up macro work. If this is what you want, there's no better lens out there for your Canon!

AWESOME!
Date: September 20, 2009
Pros: Super-sharp images, Superior build quality, 5x
Cons: needs flash, needs stable tripod for greater than 2x
if you are into really small things being made big; than this is the lens you want. You will need to get the twin flash or the ring flash if you plan on using this in any other light other than sunlight. there really is nothing else like this.
