TOP TIP


Current Canon DSLRs in the 1D, 5D and 6D series feature Full Frame sensors, whilst other Canon DSLR and EOS-M cameras feature APS-C sensors. As a Full Frame sensor is larger than an APS-C sensor, using the same EF lens on each body will product different results – the APS-C sensor will produce a narrower field of view at the same subject distance.

Lens field of view is often stated in ‘Full Frame equivalent’. A Canon APS-C sensor has a ‘crop factor’ of 1.6x, so a 50mm lens when used on an APS-C cameras has an equivalent field of view as an 80mm lens on a Full Frame camera, which is 50 multiplied by 1.6.

BEST LENSES FOR ENTHUSIASTS

PRIME LENS

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM


The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is an affordable prime lens that is one of our best lenses for food photography. Its wide aperture produces versatile and high-quality images with beautiful background blur – even in low light – which means it can be used for table scenes and flat lays, as well as other subjects such as portrait.

FOR MIRRORLESS CAMERAS

Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM


The best way to capture the detail in food is with a macro lens. These lenses are not only compact and lightweight, they reproduce the texture of a crust or shine of a berry with high-level magnification. For mirrorless cameras, the Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM produces a true-size ratio of 1:1 so your composition appears life-size.

For even closer shots, the Super Macro Mode goes to 1.2x magnification – revealing extraordinary details in seeds or delicate leaves. For hand-held shooting, the Hybrid Image Stabilizer is designed to minimise angular and shift camera-shake, with Macro Lite LED technology to illuminate as you shoot, controlling shine and unwanted shadows for mouth-watering detail.

The RF-S 18-45mm F/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens is designed to create beautiful out of focus bokeh and will get you get as close as 15cm from your subject with 0.25x magnification. This means you can explore your creativity when photographing good, especially as the 4-stop Image Stabilizer means you don’t need to worry about shaking causing unwanted blur.

This L-series lens is recommended for professionals to take stunning photos of food.
