Bring small things into full-sized view with the Canon EF 180mm macro USM lens. Macro lenses can uncover detail that would be impossible to detect by the eye and give new perspective to extremely minute subjects such as insects or the petals of a small flower, and this lens is no exception. The 180mm lens offers such features as three UD glass elements and an internal floating system, which combine to minimize aberrations caused by changes in the focusing distance; an advanced ultra-sonic monitor (USM) for high-speed, quiet autofocusing; full-time mechanical manual focusing; and a focusing distance range of 1.57 feet to infinity. Compatible with the EF Extender 1.4x and 2x, the lens carries a one-year warranty.

Customer Review: Worth it's weight
Regarding the suggestion that one instead get a 70-200 and extension tubes... yes, that would be more versatile than the macro alone, but I have a 70-200 and extension tubes, and they can't compare to the 180 macro.
Customer Review: Canon telephoto 180 L series lens
It is great--exactly what I expected from the Canon L series. I used it on a recent trip to the Missouri River (Lewis & Clark) area and was extremely pleased.
