Worth every dollar per MM

A little friendly competition is always good. In the case of playground battle between Canon and Nikon, the shooters usually win, and Canon's much-delayed response to Nikon's fantastic 105mm f/2.8 macro lens, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro ($900) has win written all over it.

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM review by marduk360

Very sharp and fast/accurate AF. Focusing is very silent too. The focusing ring has a smooth feel to it, but somehow feels a bit too loose (imo only). The build quality is very good despite the material used. Feels solid but light for its size. Only gripe is that there is no Tripod Ring included....
Pros:
  • Sharp
  • Fast and accurate AF
  • Lightweight without feeling cheap
Cons:
  • No Tripod ring
  • HIS (regular IS would have sufficed

A 3-group floating system results in excellent delineation at all focusing distances. Ring USM for silent and high-speed AF, and full-time manual focusing also provided.
