Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM

A Reader from Birmingham, AL reviews the Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM:

What's Hot: Sharp, well built, lens

What's Not: A little on the heavy side and somewhat sensative focus

Review:Physically, the 180mm is a large lens. It's well built and represents the "L" line of lenses well. I'd compare it to the Canon 70-200mm f4L as far as feel goes. It is an internal focus lens, in that the size of the lens does not increase as you focus closer. It does balance well on the 1D series and is a touch top heavy on the D/XT series. AF is fast, faster than expected and I wasn't dissappointed with image quality. Images were sharp, colorful and had a nice OOF background.

Little things that can make a big difference in your photography: Photoshop's Healing Brush is one of the most useful blemish-removal tools in this software. But if you right-click its band-aid-like icon and select the Patch Tool you will unleash an even more powerful portrait-fixer. Remove a blemish by drawing a closed circle around it and dragging it to an area containing the desired replacement color and texture. The good part is smoothly blended over the bad part until the ugly one disappears.
