Macro Lens 1.1

I was going to take really close up images of human faces using my macro lens but changed my mind - in the past I have used a macro lens to take product shots of watches to show dial detail.

As you can see the image of the dial of the watch is very crisp and clear however the watch pad which is in the background has started to be become blurred this is because a macro lens automatically has a shallow depth of field.

Below shows the range of Canon lenses available, the link below takes you straight to the Canon UK website and gives further details on the lenses to include the focal length and aperture:
