I want to use this to attach my macro lens directly to my Canon T5i, is this a smart option because I don't want to expose my more expensive lens

I bought one of these and it works, but not as well as I had hoped. It is quality made, but remember if you turn your lens around you lose autofocus. I saw a review done on Youtube where a photographer compared everything from different length macro lens to extension tubes to a reversing ring and the the reversing ring performed the worse. I am thinking that you aren't allowed to post links on here. But if you go to Youtube do a search for "8 Best Macro Lenses (Unbiased review)" and see what Jim Harmer had to say.

Have you tried holding your macro in reverse against the camera to see the effect on magnification and to be sure it is what you want? If not suggest you do that first. Reverse rings come in different thread sizes for different lenses. Make sure you get the right size. You won't harm your expensive lens. If you do decide to get a reverse ring, make sure it is secure on the lens itsself, but don't turn it too tightly when you are attaching the lens with reverse ring to the camera body. It is difficult to undo. Hope this helps.

It produces a pretty decent macro in my opinion I've used it very little for such though... If you're looking for a specific macro lens though, this is not it.

I bought it to put on my 52mm because it is a 58mm MACRO lens which gives you the best in a short distance shot that you want at least 180 degree view, which you can do with a bit of manual adjustment to your digital. Disclaimer: I am not a professional photographer, but I want to be so I READ! You can take certified tests and actually become someone that can be a consultant but not a professional photographer, a consultant regarding equipment, quantity, what fits what, and how to avoid buying cheap things that do not fit. I just bought the MACRO and put it on a Canon Digital REBEL and it fit fine. Write me back and I will send you pictures taken with 52MM and the same picture taken with a 58MM MACRO fit on to a 52MM, okay? Thanks for the question. I enjoy photography but as I stated, I'm only an enthusiast who reads and experiments which is maybe a great way to learn to be a "consultant" on expensive, collectible equipment for various manufacturers of the digital era, now!

YES...... I would highly recommend this lens and it is now used as my general lens of choice. To use the macro, it is necessary to stand back further than most lenses but it still produces a very crisp image. The weight of the lens helps to keep the camera steady as it is weighted well making the whole unit more sturdy. So far I have no regrets.

I have the same lens bro and it went well.But you'll have to use the lens on its longest zoom (135mm) to get the macro effect.It's not a macro lens, but it's quite handy if you need to shoot a big closeup.

Thanks Branden, I didn't think it was a "macro" lens, but wanted to ask. I'm planning on buying this lens when ever I decide I can afford a $1,000 lens. I've since purchased the Canon 60mm EF-S Macro lens and like it very much.

Always check Canon Compatibility list would be my suggestion on this! I use this on a 70-200 mm and a 400mm Canon L lens with no problem. Always make sure your battery is off before connecting it and removing it. Other than that it is fairly simple to install!

This is a fairly sharp macro lens. Working with a Canon 40D the closeup pictures are spectacular. A word of caution - have enough light to expand your depth of field to keep large objects in focus. Either sunlight or flood lights will insure bright, colorful, infocus pictures. Use of a lightbox is recommended for watches or jewelry which i do with some regularity

The adapter works great. I have not used it with a 60mm macro but have used it with a 105 macro an 85 1.8 and a 300 mm lens.

These extension tubes were hit and miss for me with my 5D MKII--don't expect autofocus to work every lens. Btw, your 100mm macro should be good enough for most of close-up work.

The lens and attachments screw into the front of the lens you are using. You need to spend time to see what works best. The lens are not 'real' macro lenses but dioptics. Macro lenses can be pricey and this kit makes it possible to take macro photos without having to purchase additional lenses. But you may have to operate the camera manually to get the best use out of the kit. That would be covered in your owner's manual. Additional info on using macro lenses can also be found on the internet or books from Amazon, kindle too.

I am not too sure, actually. On my T2i the lens fit but the macro was useless. No matter what I did, I couldn't focus on the subject. When I contacted the seller I was told that "sometimes there are compatibility issues". Hope that helps.

No- the focusing distance is much too far. Great lens- but not for macro work.

I use this with a nikon D300s and a 85 mm macro lens, and it is just right. So probably in comparison your equipment might be too heavy.

The Macro part of it helps give you the fish-eye effect you want. It helps provide the necessary distortion you need for it to give you the look you presumably bought this object to provide. I'm sure you can find a double male 58mm adapter out there on Amazon land- but my thought to you is do you really want to?

I personally love this lens. But then, I am not trying to photograph bugs with it. My photos are perfect and have caught some great photos of hummingbirds I was shooting recently. I have a Canon T3. It does Macro.

I don't have a lot of experience using this in videos but I got very good results from the Canon 50mm f1.8 and Canon 70-200mm f4. Down load the Magic Lantern for this camera and research how to put an audio monitor. This will be a good set-up with an addition of an external mic. I don't have a lot of macro lens but I find the Canon 100mm f2.8 (the non IS and not "L") a very good lens. Hope this helps!
