Love it

I just got and with the little time I have had it, I love it. The image stabilization with the MACRO make makes it worth
the money. This is my new favorite lens.

Superb handling, great image quality and powerful image stabilization

This legacy EF optic may surprise you with its sophistication: Hybrid IS works superlatively on the EOS R to quell the worst of my hand shake -about 4 stops in the real world. It's also quite ergonomic, with controls that fall easily to hand and a buttery, long-throw manual focus ring that's very precise.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not completly satisfied with value of this lens
on October 24, 2009
Posted by: felixm

Bought this lens after selling my 10m macro 2.8 non-IS. When properly switched it focuses faster but when incorrectly switched may sometimes not find the proper focus and give up which is not improved from the prior non-IS version. The build quality is not as well built as the previous version and the body on this unit is plastic and flexes when slight pressure is applied which did not happen in the previous version. Front element is about the same size as the previous version but the body makes the front bigger. IS seems to work really well in both close-up and far subject shooting. Overall quality of image is the same as with the previous version although this lens is technically "L". if you currently own the older 100mm macro dont go out of your way to make this upgrade.
I use this lens on my canon 5d2 for high fashion, commercial, product, macro, and video.

Plastic lens barrel
on November 2, 2009
Posted by: JC
from St. Louis, MO
The lens does everything they claim it will do but in my opinion lenses with L designation and price should never be made of plastic. Lens barrel flexes if you grip firmly. Focus is smooth but has slight amount of play. I'm kind of disappointed. No plastic!
Pros: Super-sharp images, Fast auto-focus
Cons: Poor build quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
