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

Perfect gift for a camera lover
I bought this for my partner's birthday, after he told me that he wanted a prime lens. I researched canon prime lenses on the canon website, and saw this one listed as a prime lens.

Great Value for Money
I required two lenses: a macro and a long portrait lens. I did not have the budget for both but have been blown away by the quality of this lens in both areas for a very modest price.
Pros:
- Super-sharp images
Cons:
- Slow auto-focus

Possibly the most fun with a lens
The Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro is an amazing lens. As a regular lens, it excels. The 100mm length is great for portraits and as a telephoto, although it gets a bit long on the crop sensor consumer cameras where it equals a 160mm.

Released in March 2000, this lens manages to offer most of the features you'd expect in its price bracket. Constructed with 12 elements in 8 groups, the focusing system is the internal type, meaning the front element remains fixed in position and doesn't extend or rotate.

Extremely fun lens
This is an extremely fun lens for those funniest photo ops where you want a close up and magnified image. It is also a nice portrait lens and I really enjoyed shooting some awesome portrait snaps using my 550D. I received this lens within 5 business days and it arrived nicely packed.
