Canon EF 100mm f2.8L Macro IS USM Lens f/2.8 for 5D 50D - Brand New review
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro is one of the best lenses in Canon's modern portfolio. The lens exhibits very even performance across pretty much entire aperture range on both APS-C and full frame cameras.
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens Review
The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens is an extremely fun lens to use. It combines excellent image quality with a useful focal length, a relatively small/light body, fast/quiet AF with 1:1 (1x) macro capabilities - and HIS (Hybrid Image Stabilization).
Canon EF 100MM F/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens EF10028LIS review
Canon's really raised the bar with this lens: exceptionally sharp, even wide open at f/2.8, with strong results for resistance to chromatic aberration and distortion. Corner shading can be a tad high at f/2.8 when used on a full-frame body, but for macro work, I imagine most people will be using...
Canon EF 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro Review
- Superb optical quality
- Fast, silent, and accurate autofocus
- full time manual focus
- Highly effective image stabilization (for longer subject distances, at least)
- Solid build, including dust and water sealing
- Hybrid Image Stabilization still not particularly effective at macro distances
- Precise manual focus at 'portrait' distances slightly tricky
- Very expensive compared to non-stabilized alternatives

Canon 100mm f/2.8 L IS Macro
The Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro L IS is a swell lens. It weighs less than you'd first expect, which is a good thing. it is ideal for use as a general-purpose telephoto, especially if you need close-focus ability.
Great macro lens
Nice bokeh, image stabilisation, handles high contrast situations well, pics have a beautiful refined detail. Great for macro, portraits, cropped in landscapes etc.
It's one of the most versatile lenses I own. It's very good at macro and tele distances and the stabiliser works very well. The all-plastic construction doesn't feel very solid and the focus ring have a (very!) little play. It's not weather-sealed until you attach a filter.
- Very effective IS
- Very fast AF for a macro lens
- Subpar build quality for a L lens

Close-up fanatics wanting a top-quality Macro lens should consider the EF 100mm f2.8L, which works on cropped and full-frame bodies, delivers 1x magnification and boasts Canon's first Hybrid Image Stabilisation system which counteracts both lens shift and angular motion.
Canon's premium 100mm L-series macro offers 123mm of sturdy plastic design, but with a respectable weight of 625g. The standout feature is the Hybrid optical IS, helping negate rotational and linear camera shake and giving back 4 stops, though less at 1x magnification.
