Close-up Lens 250D/500D/500

The 250D/500D series incorporates double-

element achromatic design for maximum optical

performance. These screw-in lenses are used to

provide a shorter minimum focusing distance

with no loss of light. Each lens is optimized for

a particular focal length. Manual focus is recom-

mended with these lenses.

Loupe 4x and 8x

Designed for viewing 35mm film frames at high

magnifications, these loupes use high-performance

lens system that eliminates all aberration and

distortion. They offer diopter adjustment of -4 to

+1 dpt, and include an eyecup, hood and case.

type IV gelatin filters. Gelatin filters can be used

with most EF lenses.

*1 If the EF 70–200mm f/2.8L USM lens is attached to an EOS camera having multiple focusing points and an Extender is attached to the lens, only the center focusing

point will be useable for AF. *2 The autofocusing range is from 2.6 feet (0.8m) to infinity. *3 With the EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1D Mark II, EOS-1Ds, EOS-1D, EOS-1v

and EOS-3. AF is possible with the center focusing point only. *4 The Image Stabilizer does not operate with the following cameras: EOS650, 630, 620, 600, RT, 700,

750, 850, EOS-1, A2, A2E, 10s, ELAN, Rebel, Rebel S, Rebel II and Rebel SII.

For Best Results with your Canon EOS Camera Use Original Canon EF Lenses.

As an owner of a Canon EOS camera, you will achieve the best results in your photography using Canon's own EF lenses. Each EOS camera body and each EF Lens has its own

built-in microcomputer. These microcomputers store a range of special data to ensure the smooth operation of bodies and EF lenses which support two-way digital communications

between each part to allow exchange of information. Since the EOS System's market launch in 1987, new functions have been added on a continuing basis. These improvements

include adding Image Stabilizer to some lenses, speeding up the AF function, increasing the number of focusing points, and the addition of the Eye Controlled Focus™ Function.

As the system's range of functions has evolved, the nature of the basic system of communications between lens and body has evolved as well, ensuring that complete compatibility

is maintained. This process of evolution will continue in the future with the addition of more new specifications, resulting in still further gains in reliability. Accordingly, in

order to realize the maximum performance of the EOS system and thereby achieve the highest possible photographic quality, we recommend that you

use Canon EF lenses and Canon brand name accessories, since they are designed and manufactured to match the special qualities of your EOS camera.

Extension Tubes

EF 25 II

EF 12 II

Extension Tube EF 25 II & EF 12 II

These close-up accessories are placed between the

camera body and lens to enable high-magnification

photography. Eight electronic contact points allow

communication between the camera and lens

to continue as usual. The magnification differs

according to the lens, but for standard zoom lenses

it is about 0.3x to 0.5x for the EF 12 and 0.7x or

more for the EF 25. By using both tubes effectively,

the choice of magnifications can be greatly

extended. Manual focusing is recommended.

Using an Extension Tube brings the subject even closer,

emphasizing the eyes, for example.

To enhance the stellar features of the EF Lens system, there are a number of

accessories designed to perform perfectly with your system. Canon offers cases to

protect your lenses, hoods and filters to control glare, and a number of adapters to

further expand the possibilities of your EF Lenses and your EOS System.

Softmat Filters

Polarizing Filters

Circular Polarizing Filter PL-C

Polarizing filters enhance picture quality by

blocking harmful reflected light. Use it to reduce

polarized light reflections from glass and water

surfaces or to improve color saturation. Simple

to use, these filters polarize light circularly,

rather than linearly, so they do not interfere with

autofocus or TTL light metering.

DROP-IN — For use with lenses using rear-mounted

drop-in filters, this polarizing filter can be rotated

from the outside without removing the holder

from the lens, enabling precise control.

Softmat No. 1 & No. 2

Softmat filters mildly soften the focus for flattering

portraits and dreamy landscapes. These filters

utilize the effect of diffraction, which occurs

between light passing through the transparent

part and light passing through the coated part.

Use Softmat No. 1 filter for a gentle soft focus

effect, and Softmat No. 2 for a stronger effect.

Softmat No. 1 Softmat No. 2

Screw-in 48mm Drop-in

Haze (UV-1)

Without Softmat Filter

Use a Softmat

Filter for a soft

effect.

Lens Cases and Lens Hoods

These functional, rugged cases are indispensable

for protecting lenses. Lens hoods help prevent

unwanted flare from affecting your photographs.

General Purpose

Not using Circular PL Filter Using Circular PL Filter emphasizes the blue of the sky.

Not using Circular PL Filter Using Circular PL Filter suppresses the reflection from the surface

of the leaves and the surface of the water.
