Canon EF 180mm f/3.5 Macro USM 'L' lens review with samples (Full-frame and APS-C)

Here's a venerable Canon 'L' lens which doesn't seem to have been reviewed very often. It has a major reputation for being sharp, though - is it another 'L' classic? And the coin used for testing is an old threepence, not a sixpence, as I accidentally claimed on the soundtrack.

Special thanks to Sean Swanepoel for lending me this lens for review - check out his website at www.seansp.com.

As always, this is a totally independent review.

This video includes my new test chart, as I've moved to a new place far away from all my old shooting locations. I've tried to make it a colourful one.

My Canon 70D had to be sold as I was saving up for my wedding/ honeymoon, so I'm still using my old Canon 60D. It's kind of falling to pieces by now! All pictures and footage shot by me on Canon 6D and 60D cameras.
