L1) CANON 100MM F/2.8 MACRO USM EFBring small things into full-sized view with the Canon EF 100mm macro USM lens.

The lens offers such features as a three-group floating system for exceptional close-up performance; a secondary diaphragm that blocks stray light at f/2.8, which increases contrast when shooting wide open; a ultra-sonic monitor (USM) that provides outstanding autofocusing speed at all focusing distances; a wide manual focusing ring with smooth action; and full-time manual focus even in AF mode. The first lens in its class to feature inner focusing, the lens carries a one-year warranty.

6 Comments on “58mm Tulip Flower Lens Hood For Canon 55-250mm 55-250”
A Nice Lens Hood – Very Low Price,
This 58mm threaded Tulip shaped lens hood is sold on Amazon.com under several brands by many different vendors. It is designed for cameras with NON-rotating 58mm filter threads, such as my Canon S5 with its Sakar Digital Concepts 58mm lens adapter.
It is designed for wide angle and zoom lenses that are 35mm wide or 40mm wide. If you use it with a 24mm or 28mm wide lens, you are likely to see a bit of the hood in the corner of your photos. With my 36mm lens, it worked perfectly, even at the widest settings.
The hood WILL cast a shadow with flash photos, so rotate the hood so that a small petal is at 12 o’clock or remove it for flash photos.
Mounting the hood requires threading it onto your filter mount, then centering the white triangle on the hood to the 12 o’clock position, then rotating the locking wheel until the hood locks into proper position. This takes several minutes to do. I intend to keep the hood on my camera permanently, so I only have to bother with the mounting process once. My 58mm lens cap snaps securely into the throat of the hood.

|Did Not Work,
The hood was very inexpensive. I should have known but bought it anyway. I tried repeatedly and could not get it to mount on my 55-250mm or any of by lens or lens filters.

|Decent, cheap hood,
I was getting some lens flare on outdoor photos with my stock lens, so I picked up this hood. Fixed the problem, but be aware that you need to lock the “fat” parts of the lens at 12 and 6 o’clock. I forgot this when letting my parents use my camera at graduation, and I got some clipping in my shots at the 3 and 8 o’clock corners. Other than that, my lens flare problem is fixed! Now to get one for my 50.

|An excellent lens for the budding nature photographer,
Prospective buyers of a macro lens for a Canon EOS system have a great first choice in this 100mm Macro. The extra length over a 50mm macro gives much better working distance (space between lens and subject) in the field, and EOS-compatible lenses by other manufacturers match poorly with accessories and are nowhere near as sharp.
Compared with the earlier Micro Motor 100mm Macro that Canon made (which I also own), the USM lens focuses *very* fast. The USM lens also can accept Tripod Collar B (by use of a small plastic adapter)–I recommend you buy the collar with the lens, as adjusting to a vertical composition with a tripod means repositioning everything. The front element is not recessed in the USM model, which makes lens cleaning easier than with its predecessor. And build quality is improved–the earlier model was prone to its switches breaking (could fix it yourself with the ordered part, but really annoying) and eventually the Micro Motor gearing gave out (no trouble so far with the USM ring motor). The USM model will work with Canon’s 2x teleconverter by interposing a 12mm extension tube, allowing 2x magnification with lots of working distance, though this is not nearly as nice a solution as the 180mm lens referenced below.
I will quibble with another reviewer–Canon does make sharper lenses, and sharpness compared with the earlier model is virtually the same. But this is still one of the sharpest lenses you can buy, and ergonomically a huge improvement over its predecessor.
Having said that, Canon now has an L-series 100mm macro that is a bit sharper and has better bokeh (out-of-focus highlights). A serious hobbyist might consider that lens, though it costs about 40% more on the street. I purchased the Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro Lens less than a year ago, and am very impressed with its greater sharpness and working distance relative to this lens. If you work much with small critters, take a look at that lens before making a purchase.
If you are building up a set of lenses for outdoor/nature photography and you do occasional macrophotography, this might be the first or second lens to buy. If you work significantly at magnifications greater than 1:1, consider the Canon 65mm 1x-5x Macro zoom.

|An extremely versatile lens.,
This is the lens I leave on my camera for general purpose use. At non-macro focus distances, it is a very fast lens in a convenient short-telephoto length. The images are sharp out to the corners. This is one of those great Canon lenses that probably deserves an L-series rating but is available without the red stripe and exorbitant cost.
Tested in an astrophotography context (point sources on black backgrounds – excellent for revealing aberration and coma), I have found that this lens is reasonably sharp at f/4 and completely sharp by f/5.6. For daylight terrestrial photography, the tiny aberrations caused by the wide-open f/2.8 aperture are hardy noticeable and by f/4 the images are exquisitely sharp.
There is a lot of glass in this lens – it is heavy. I highly recommend buying the tripod collar as it allows you to attach the camera and lens to a tripod or ballhead with much better balance.
Also, if you plan on using the macro functionality, keep in mind that the effective f-stop of the lens goes way up when you’re focusing at very close range. At 15cm from the front surface, it performs as though it were an f/9. You’ll either want a lot of light or a very steady subject and a good tripod (another reason to buy the hideously overpriced tripod collar).

|Sharp, versatile and a bargain,
The 100 f/2.8 macro is very sharp, even for general shooting, so it works great for portraits, too. When I’m not using a zoom, this is my walkaround lens for people, relatively tight scenes and even indoor sports. Think of it as a great lens that also shoots macro than the other way around. Hard to beat that versatility at the price.
But it comes into its own at close distances. If you’ve never had a macro lens, you’ll run around shooting everything in sight because everything looks new from a macro perspective.
Canon has several macro lenses. I prefer the 100 mm over shorter lenses because I don’t have to get quite as close to that bee or wasp. The 180 mm gives you even more distance from your subject, more background blur and amazing sharpness. But it’s much more expensive and in most cases you’ll need a tripod, and I shoot a lot of improptu macros as I’m hiking.
For extreme closeups with larger-than-life images, there’s the MP-E 65. It goes up to 5X, compared to the 100mm’s 1X, but you lose autofocus with this lens. In fact, you set your magnification and then move the camera until the object is in focus! As you get beyond about 2X, the viewfinder gets fairly dark. If you’re doing still life macro work, it’s amazing. I’ll probably get one someday for shooting my mineral colletion.
One thing to keep in mind with any macro is that because of the close distances, you’re often in lower light conditions. Althought it’s fairly pricey, I’m using the MT-24 EX, which lets you adjust the direction of the twin flashes. The MR-14EX ring light is a couple hundred dollars cheaper but will produce a slightly flatter image. And you can always use one of the standard flashes, though the closeness of your subject may cause some odd shadows.
