I’m really digging this lens in the short amount of time I’ve been using it. My initial reason to buy this was for the obvious reason - macro photography, particularly with water. I love taking pictures of the ocean and this lens will help me capture water in the purest of forms. But secondly, I’ve been finding it as the perfect portrait lens. I really love primes for the fact they make you work for the shot and this lens is no different. This lens is crispy sharp and feels quite lightweight and compact in my hands mounted on my 5D4.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Plastic, plastic, plastic!

Having owned many Canon lenses (25+) over the past 30 years, this lens is by far the one that uses the lowest grade of materials at this price. The plastic is so thin that if you pinch the focus ring while manual focusing, it sticks! Even the lens barrel flexes! Very cheesy! Does it really deserve the 'L" series designation? You be the judge. If fact, when my lens arrived new in the box, the image stabilization elements were "floating" around loose inside the lens. I found out later that this is caused by removing the lens from a camera before the IS motors have shut off. QC problem from Canon? Did a lens to lens test against my superbly built 70-200 f/2.8L IS II lens, and found the zoom to be better at all settings except macro, of course. So, don't buy this if you don't need it much for macro. Consider the supurb 100mm f/2, at less than half the price if you just do portraits and such.
Cons: Semi-sharp images, Poor build quality, overpriced!

just bought the 100mm is l lens macro its every thing its supposed to be and then some. as a macro its sharp fast on focus and with a tweak manual override finish's the job
as a normal 100mm lens on a crop body it also dose wonders . I can do nice head photos landscapes a 160mm view of angle a really good all-around lens .
this replaces my 60mmef-s lens as I am moving to the 5d3 very soon good work canon

nice and sharp, but doesn't feel a L lens

this lens is very nice an very sharp! the IS and weathe sealing is very handy. I have no complain about this but expect one. which is the built material. not the built quality but the Material.
I think Canon is cutting down the material with this L lens. with the price around $1050 I expect it to be built with metal. not high quality (engineering plastic)! It might save some weight but I'm already used to with big camera and big L lenses so this little weight won't help much. And this is the only reason stopping me to keep it. I keep the 100mm f/2.8 macro instead.
Great lens! but I hope canon doesn't make any more "engineering" plastic L lens anymore =/
Pros: Super-sharp images
Cons: built quality isn't as good as l lens should be
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
