Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro Lens Review

Canon's 50mm f/2.5 macro lens offers a compact, lightweight half life size macro option for EF and EF-S cameras, which costs around £230. An optimal converter is also available for this lens, which costs around £250 and provides life size magnification with the lens at its closes focus.

Owners of EF-S compatible camera bodies may also consider Canon's 60mm f/2.8 macro optic, which costs around £340. This lens provides life size magnification without a converter, along with silent internal focusing.

The closest equivalent from third party manufacturers is Sigma's 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro lens, which costs around £255. This optic provides life size magnification without a converter also.
