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.

Super Crisp Lens
I am a wedding photographer and this lens does a great job at details, like rings. It is so crisp, and you can get in close. It is great!
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

A 100mm macro lens has long been the standard for photographers using full-frame cameras. The magnification of the 100mm lens provides sufficient working distance from most subjects and does not add a lot of weight or bulk compared to shorter macro lenses.

There are virtually no criticisms of this lens that we can come up with! The build is a little short of L quality, but is still well built. The optical performance is first class with no nasty or disappointing surprises and as for the handling, it's a pleasure to use.
Pros:
- Good build quality
- Very good optical performance
- Nice handling with no extending front element
Cons:
- A little pricey
- but you get what you pay fr
- Still no hood included in the price

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens Review
The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens is an excellent macro lens - and may be Canon's most fun per dollar lens. This is the lens I most frequently recommend for someone starting out in macro photography – at least most frequently recommend until the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens was...
