Talk:Canon EF 28-135mm lens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Macro photography

This lens is not a dedicated "macro" lens.

Canon boasts "macro-like capability" on some lenses (this one of the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS lens), but they are no capable of reproduction nearing 1:1, or even 1:2 (more like 1:4). That they can accept macro lenses is irrelevant, or all lenses are "macro".

Besides, Template:Infobox photographic lenses says "1:10...1:2 for non-macro lenses, 1:2...1:1 for macro lenses, 1:1...5:1 for magnifier lenses", so by this standard, the "macroness" of even the f/2.5 Compact Macro is disputable. The Canon EF 28-135mm lens is a much clearer case. Don't mix up technical terms with advertieing propaganda. Rama 20:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MSRP

The MSRP for this lens is listed in yen. I can't find Canon's price in USD; can anyone fix this? 69.211.31.203 (talk) 08:22, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
