Overview

Canon EF 100mm 2.8L Macro IS USM

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens is a mid-telephoto macro lens to include Canon's sophisticated Image Stabilization. With the highest quality optics available, combined with near-silent Ultrasonic focusing and life-size close-up capabilities without an adapter, the EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM is simply unrivaled.

This is the first lens on the market to incorporate Canon's Hybrid Image Stabilization Technology. Hybrid IS effectively compensates for both angular and shift camera shake during close-up shooting. The lens was developed to expand users' photographing range and allow a wider range of users to easily enjoy macro photography.

Great Lens
Just bougt this lens about a week ago. I didn't have a lot of chance to use it yet but the little bit i did it is an awesome lens. I love the quality. i have been using it already for other things besides macro photography. one downside the Auto Focus is a bit slower than what i expected but since macro shots are always manual focused anyway...it doesn't really matter. And using it where you are not shooting closeups it really doesn't do too bad at focusing. Great lens! Highly recommend it.

Incredible Macro Lens
Being a nature macro-photographer,I wanted a dedicated macro lens.When I read the glowing reviews of this new Canon,f 2.8, IS 100mm macro lens, I purchased one this week. I shot quite a few photos in the yard of flowers, butterflies, and scenes with this lens and my reliable 6 year old EOS 10D camera. The results were very good, but not as good as I wanted; as it became obvious that overall clarity was being limited by the 10D's 6.3 MP sensor. I had anticipated such would be the case before the lens purchase. The post-production cropping was limited by the sensor size too.. I switched to AI servo mode on the camera, as the directions with the lens suggested, and this helped somewhat with the clarity of images. Even with the IS on, extreme closeups would likely be helped by using a monopod or tripod. Overall, I am delighted with this lens's quality , but to use it to its full potential means that I'm now going to purchase a Canon EOS 7D body. This should be superb combo for me for years to come.

Outstanding Lens
I had previously purchased the non-L 100mm Macro lens from Canon. It was a fantastic lens, and resulted in many awesome pics; however, the majority of my shots are taken hand-held. So the IS was really needed if I wanted more keepers. Decided to trade up to the L lens. All I can really say is wow. I am still amazed at how incredibly beautiful my pictures turn out now. So many more keepers. And this is a great portrait lens as well. It is by far my favorite and most-frequently used lens. Just can't say enough about how much I love this glass. I routinely recommend it to those who marvel at my pictures.

none sharper
I replaced my Canon 100mm with this IS L macro. The triple focal length adjustment is wonderful. AF works pretty well but of course with macro, MF is a little sharper. Sometimes I'm just lazy and shoot a bunch with the AF, culling the ones that aren't sharp. the IS works great and the L lens is crystal sharp even at f/2.8. AF hunts till you figure out how to use it. Worth the money. Also useful for portraits as the lens doesn't intimidate the subject but allows full face shots at a respectable working distance

Truely Outstanding Lens
I have had this lens for 6 months and have shot a range of subjects from tree moss to car shows and could not be happier with the performance. The images snap with color and contrast. The auto focus is clean and fast and the photos are sharp. It took me a while to get the nerve to pony up the bucks for this lens, but it was well worth it in my opinion.

Great Lens
This lens takes fantasic close-up images. It replaces my 100mm Canon lens without image stabilization (IS). The IS allows for more hand held shots. The resolution is excellent. I use it on a Canon 5D Mark III (full frame), which allows me to crop the images significantly. I would have liked to see less plastic used, but it does not seem to take away from the quality images. The benefit is a lighter lens. It also is a great portrait lens.

Wow And Wom
I seldom write lens reviews but I have to say this lens blows me away. The sharpness is incredible. Not only is it an excellent macro lens, it is superb for automobile product shots and general photography. I would highly recommend this lens. The build is excellent and the auto-focus is fast and consistent. Well worth the cost.
