Most macro lenses can go as close as a 1:1x reproduction, meaning that the image on the sensor is the same size as the object being photographed. Canon, however, makes a 65mm macro lens that begins at 1x reproduction and goes to 5x. Such extreme magnification is more akin to photographing with a low powered microscope. While I do not shoot with Canon cameras professionally anymore, I do have this lens and keep a T2i Canon around to use with it. Because it has an APS-C sensor, this camera actually increases the magnification beyond the rated 5x. Here are some photos I just took with this camera/lens combo of a CPU chip, and details of a computer motherboard. In general, these images represent about a 3x magnification.
