That's half life-size, or 1:2 reproduction, making it useful for film cameras, small objects, product photography, documents, flowers and everyday details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eUnlike a dedicated long macro lens, the 50mm focal length keeps this one useful when you're not shooting close-ups.

That's plenty for many product, detail and close-up photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAutofocus is available, but this is an older EF autofocus design rather than one of Canon's later USM or STM lenses.
