Amazing quality and value
I have had this lens for several months now. I work as a semi pro freelance photographer and use generally L' lenses. I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised with this macro lens and use it with extension tubes. A brilliant lens with great results

Excellent lens
I use this with my 40D (cropped sensor) and have had excellent results. Sharpness and colour are exceptional. The macro function can be difficult and takes time to learn how to use effectively due to the shallow depth of field and exaggerated camera movement.

So glad I bought this.
I considered this for a long time as it's not cheap. I nearly settled for the 60mm macro lens but online reviews suggested that this was a bit more flexible. I've used it hand held for macro work in my garden so far and am really pleased with the results.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Quick Focus
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction

GOOD MACRO LENS
I AM USING THIS MACRO LENS ON A SONY NEX 7 CAMERA WITH A METABONES ADAPTER FOR MACRO AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY. I FIND THE LENS TO BE STURDY AND WELL BUILT. BOTH PORTRAIT AND MACRO PHOTOS CAME OUT IN VERY SHARP FOCUS. THE SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD FOR MACRO CAN GET VERY SENSITIVE.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Slow Focus

Best lens I have used
I love this lens. Since we got it, it is almost always on my camera, It takes amazing portrait shots and sharp macro shots. Amazing. I strongly suggest that this lens be in everybody's lens kit. I would only replace it with the L series lens if I have oodles of money to spare.

Better than expected
I chose this lens over several more expensive models based on test reports, user reviews and, above all, price. While it may not have the build quality and weather sealing of those more expensive models, it still feels quite well built.

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
A big cons is the lack of IS but not for macro work, for portraits. Only for macro is just perfect.
Pros:
- excellent IQ
Cons:
- some focus hunting in low light
