    CANON MP-E 65MM MACRO LENS IS GREAT FOR STAMP DETAILS
    5 Stars
    CANON MP-E 65MM MACRO LENS IS GREAT FOR STAMP DETAILS
    I recently acquired the Canon MP-E 65mm Macro lens for the sole purpose of getting in real close to the features printed on US Local stamps from the 1800s, since there are an abundance of multi-variant forgeries that need to be identified against a reference original stamp. A focusing rail, such as the Jamco brand, is essential, as the lens needs to be brought forward and backward to manually focus at the different magnifications. DOF is not an issue with stamps, obviously, but targeting in to a focused image across the stamps' surface while attempting to get into the minute details within design lines and lettering, forces the use of the rail frequently. Also, a Neewer macro "flash" ring is quite sufficient for a paper-only non-reflective surface/even with the common glazed papers often found on these type of stamps. A great lens for documenting in this very specialized field, esp. when I want to sell the forgeries to collectors under the correctly identified number and letter in my reference books. I have posted 2 images of the portions of a legitimate vs. a fraudulent stamp, to give an idea of the level of detail, for comparison, revealed at high magnification.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's a macro only lens
    Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2019
    So im a casual photographer and would say im more of a beginner. This lens is my most unique len i own since you can't use it for anything other than macro images and is NOT very easy for me to use. Only because it takes me a long while to set up the image in question; how people take images of flys or animals is beyond me. That being said the images can take can be VERY close up and high quality. The image im uploading is at x1

    if you want to compare this to the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens (link: https://www.amazon.com/Canon-100mm-Macro-Digital-Cameras/dp/B002NEGTSI/ref=pd_sbs_421_1/134-6636504-8069954?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B002NEGTSI&pd_rd_r=d5dde6c8-413c-4a8e-9f80-2e893c0b75fd&pd_rd_w=TuElO&pd_rd_wg=cNEX8&pf_rd_p=d66372fe-68a6-48a3-90ec-41d7f64212be&pf_rd_r=N2BJ1GQSA54HRPTSN7AH&psc=1&refRID=N2BJ1GQSA54HRPTSN7AH) it's kinda of like apples to oranges. Since the 100mm can be used for a lot more than macro images. This lens is 100% macro only and can get VERY close to the target in question.
