Buyers researching what an EF 50mm f\/2.5 Compact Macro is worth should treat this as an indicative price only until further results accumulate.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear elements under a torch for fungus, haze and cleaning marks, and check the coatings for scratches that would show up against bright backgrounds.

Questions
Does it focus to 1:1 macro?
No — the Compact Macro is a half-life-size (1:2) lens; reaching 1:1 requires the dedicated Life Size Converter EF accessory.
What should I check before buying a used copy?
Look for fungus, haze, coating scratches, oil on the aperture blades, smooth focus travel and a healthy autofocus motor, as these are the common faults on older EF lenses.
