Awesome, AWESOME
It does just what a Macro should. 1:1 with perfect quality. Quiet focus but noisy when REALLY close up. Fantastic as a portrait lens as well as a Macro. Feels a little light for me but I'm old fashioned.
Pros:
- Everything
Cons:
- Lens shade would be nice

lens is as sharp as canon says,
I had earlier problems with focus, but now my biggest gripe is no lens hood supplied, and Canons tripod ring mountfor this lens, is far dearer than other brands ([*]I`d expect). I have one of these and it works very well, cost me all of $11.00 australian. from Hong Kong of course.
Pros:
- Durable
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Lens Creep
- Poor in Low Light

Great Lens.
This is my first macro lens. The choice was between the Canon 60mm 2.8 macro or this one. After much research and a sale price drop of $80 from OneCall, I chose this one. The sale price put the new price from OneCall in an acceptable range with an used one. I am glad I chose this one.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens is a very good choice for macro photography of butterflies, insects or flowers. It offers excellent optical performance and middle-of-the-road working distance, size and weight.
Pros:
- 1
- Fast Focusing - Utilizing USM (Ultrasonic Motor), the Canon 100 Macro internally focuses very fast, quietly and very accurately, 2
- Non-Extending or Rotating - When focusing at 1x subject distances, the lens does not extend, and the front element does not rotate, 3.
Cons:
- 1
- Build quality - this USM Macro lens has a reasonable build quality although it's not quite as solid as the L-Series lenses, 2
- Image Stabilization - this lens does not feature the image stabilization present with the significantly more expensive Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens

This lens has blown me away. It is my first IS lens from Canon. I own a 85 1.2L and it is slow to focus and forget about hand hold as it has no IS. This 100 2.8L macro is super sharp, fast auto focus and accurate as well.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Hand hold with ease
- Lightweight
- Manual focus feels good
- Manual focus override
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
- Very Sharp
Cons:
- NONE

ITS A QUALITY LENS,GREAT PRICE
I loved this lens when I received it, I tested it straight away and the quality is superb. Whilst not having an image stabalizer I still enjoy using it manually. The Smifu service is 5 stars for me and the shipment was great as well as a very good price!

CANON 100mm MACRO - AFFORDABLE FUN
I never thought macro photography could be so interesting and fun. This lens has a very precise area of focus. Macro isn't all you can do with it but for amatuer or enthusiast, you can have fun all day long. Half the price of is IS model but you just need a little more patience.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Rugged
- Strong Construction

I don't know of anyone who has this lens and doesn't love it.
First I'd like to say that I checked out many different macro lenses before purchasing this particular lens. If I didn't have someone I could borrow from, I rented a lens from LensRentals.com. That being said here's my take on the lens.
