- Wonderful quality. Decent build. No regrets.I bought this lens because I wanted to explore a different type of photography than I was used to. Macro photography unlocks an entire universe of different material this lens was my gateway. Typically, prime lenses perform better at their static focal lengths than zoom lenses do when dialed into the same length and I believe this lens is no different. The picture quality is on par with Canon's finest and it does double duty as a wonderful portrait lens.
- Great LensI purchased this lens a few days again and I love it already. I like reviews that include pictures so I can see the quality of the picture and photographer. So, I will let the picture speak for the lens.
- Poor quality construction (lens).Bought the lens in Nov. 2018. Sometime this summer noticed a separation (gap) of the ribbing material surrounding the lens, but inside the "outer ring" of the lens (see attached photo). Sent it in for warranty work and they are telling me it is impact damage. Over the decades I have owned canon cameras (videos and still) plus a plethora of lenses (from 50 mm prime to 70 to 200 USM, IS L), I have NEVER had a lens damaged by impact - including the previous 100 mm macro, I used for at least a couple of years. There is no other physical damage to the lens, which one would expect to see upon impact. Customer service is not being a positive advocate for me. So all of sudden they tell me I'm causing an undesirable impact to my lens. That is an unacceptable response.
- Better than expected!I was trying to decide the first lens I wanted to purchase to go with the Canon EOS-1V I picked up used a while back. I knew I was going to buy a L series lens. I had rented the 24-70mm f/2.8L and really liked that but the close-up shots that I like to take just weren't close enough. I had a 100mm f/4 FD that I really liked with my former AE1 Program. I did quite a bit of research on this lens before I purchased it. I added a Hoya UV filter to protect the front element. This lens balances very well with the 1V even when I have the PB-E2 Power Booster on. Actually better with the Booster on. The combined weight doesn't bother me, it gives me confidence in the quality. I also like the moisture/dust seal to match the 1V. I just got my first 6 rolls of slide film developed and the sharpness on film is excellent. Not all my shots were perfect but that is definitely user error and not a fault of the lens. I shoot nature better than people usually and this lens has improved my people shots. This lens takes beautiful portrait shots. If you know your focus distance and set the correct range the AF works quite well. I shot a lot of Macro shots hand held and was amazed at how sharp the pictures came out. A function of the IS I'm sure. Bottom line? If you're into Macro photography professionally or as an advanced amateur you won't go wrong here. Excellence as a portrait lens is a bonus.
- Awesome lens for EverythingI was able to take best pictures from this lens for Macro and portrait
