Product Description

The "D" series incorporates double-element achromatic design for maximum optical performance. This close-up attachment can be used with most EF lenses to provide a shorter minimum focusing distance with no loss of light.

Changes closest focusing distance from infinity to 500mm (approx. 19.7" from front of lens). The 500D works best with telephoto lenses from 70-300mm, manual focusing is recommended.

Note: New Canon manufacturer number is 2824A002

This is a wonderful closeup lens. It easily ranks with the Nikon multi-element closeup lenses. I use it on my 24-105 and don't have to carry a macro lens with me most of the time.

i really did not know what to expect when i got this "lens" i have been truly surprised. i have taken about 500 shots, 50 keepers so far. mostly leaves and seeds. it is not what i call a true macro lens. but it beats having my bag on me at all times. i went for a walk and had it in my pocket. put it on my 70-200 and it did an outstanding job. does not work so well with the wide angle lens eg 17-40. bit of a learning curve, but once you get the idea, it does do a good job.
for the money, it is well worth the investment.

The Canon 500D 77mm Close Up Lens does the job for getting up close and personal. Highly recommended for macro if you have a 77mm lens. I use my Canon 20D DSLR and the Canon 100-400mm IS USM and the 500D works great with them.
