!00 mm macro f2.8l lens
on September 27, 2012
Posted by: Anonymous

Top marks for resolution. Build quality seems quite good. The autofocus takes getting used to from other lenses such as the 24-105 zoom, the 70-200 zoom and the 16-35 zoom which all focus very quickly. This one I have to hold the button half down while it goes all the way in and the backs out to find the focus point. On all the other lenses I just needed to do a half tap on the shutter button to get to focus. But have to say that the resolution seems better than all the others so perhaps that is the trade off.
Pros: Super-sharp images
Cons: Slow auto-focus
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fantastic upgrade

The addition and slight redesign to an already great lense has made it even better. Image Stabilization has provided me the ability to do Macro on the move without being bound to a tripod. This is a fantastic lense, the image quality is crystal clear and focusing is virtually instant. This lense compliment's my 85mm 1.8 Portrait lense. If you are walking have this 100mm macro on your camera and you won't go far wrong
Pros: Super-sharp images, Superior build quality, Fast auto-focus
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

New to Macro, Let's Go!

Purchased this Macro lens to capture more close-ups photos. Just starting to explore the settings, lighting, etc. to capture clear photos, better to use a tripod to omit any blur.

Ultra Versatile Lens

from Ric Rico AZ
I have used this lens for more than intended. I have shot sports, outdoor location photos, blacklight situations and even some macro stuff. It is a very versatile lens. The depth of field make you focus on your subject an makes stunning life size photos for sports and glamour photos. This lens really brings out the details in subjects. I generally shoot with a monopod and have some really cool sports pictures. I think it is one of canons best priced lenses and a true value.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Cons: none

This is one of my favorite lenses. I use this not only for macro work, but for portraiture as well. It provides great bokeh and sharpness.

It's wonderful!

This lens is awesome. I've used it to shoot bugs and people and it's a very sharp lens. The bokeh and sharpness is so nice ill prob use this lens to shoot portraits more often. Color and contrast is very good.
The lens is made of plastic and is no bother to me at all. I wouldn't be surprise if this plastic is stronger than metal. Being plastic prob helps with the weight also, which is important for keeping it stable. Feels very sturdy. Im not used to this type of quality, this is my first L lens.

Finally an IS Macro
on November 30, 2009
Posted by: Corgiman
from Grand rapids, MI
Bought this lense about a month ago. Could hardly wait to get my hands on it. Haven't had a chance to photograph flowers and insects yet as it's approaching winter. Have took numerous handheld photos of polished agates at 1:1 magnification. They turned out excellent with the IS turned on. Going to try it out as a portrait lense tomorrow.
Was slightly disappointed to learn that it offers only 2 stops of IS at 1:1. But it is much better than trying to handhold my old 100mm macro at 1:1 with no IS.
Camera used is an EOS Rebel T1i.
Love the lense none the less and would recommend it to fellow macro shooters.
