Group Description
This is a group to showcase what people have achieved with the humble Canon EF 35-80mm (any revision, I, II, III or USM).If you don't know already then the trick is to unscrew and remove the front element of the lens, it leaves you with no focus, but absolutely incredible close up possibilities. It's a fantastic way to get into macro without spending hundreds on a dedicated lens and really tests your patience, steady hands and use of light to get good photos.
I don't know how many people out there are using this lens, but I'd love to see some other peoples results!
