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

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens Review: Up Close & Personal with a Classic Canon Macro
The classic definition of macro photography is that the image projected onto the digital sensor (or film plane) should be the same size as the subject. With a 1:1 ratio, a DSLR with a full-frame chip should be able to produce life-size magnification and focus on an area as small as 24x36mm.
