I had seen so many good reports about this Canon Lens ( Canon 100mm f2.8 L series Macro). I had been looking at buying one for a while and so I decided it was time to get one to see if it was as good as the reports had said. I am so glad I made the purchase. This lens is outstanding and by far exceeded all my expectations. For Macro photography you really need to try one to see just how good this lens is. It is also outstanding as a portrait lens producing tack sharp images with that lovely soft boken that shooting a 2.8 gives. This lens will be on my camera a lot.

I call it an all rounder as, I believe a lens which can do all this can should be, although it is a prime. It will focus down to 30cm and has three modes to focus at various lengths, this is to speed up focus. It is also a great lens to have to give fairly tight portraits and semi tele shots, and lastly the tripod mount which effectively sends the centre of gravity backward to help balance the camera on tripods which maybe not as sturdy as some expensive ones so therefore would try to stop any wobble. It is beautifully made, feels great and has a macro scale in the focus scale so at its closest it is 1:1. Being an L lens it has weather sealing, Also there is no movement when focusing from the front element. Handling is great, you can remove the tripod mount for handheld shots and it balances well with a full frame camera, obviously used with a crop frame would give an effective 160mm lens. You need to stop down more with a macro and using it as such, because at close focus a wide open aperture would give millimetres of depth of field at most.Read full review

Like all Canon lenes it's easy to use with a metal mount and produces pin sharp pictures both wide open and even better at about f8-f11. at f2.8 the bokeh blurs the image sufficiantly to make the subject stand out. this is a lens that requires a good quality sturdy tripod for macro use and manual focusing for the best results. once tried you will not be disapointed with this lens.

This was a great purchase, new never used and I saved a small fortune. The lens is pin sharp using with my Canon 90D. This lens allows you to get some fantastic macro images. You can then crop or zoom for even more fine image details without any softness of image focal loss. Image background blur works well for wildlife pics too.

Great lens from a good company. As fixed focal length images are sharp but not always as convenient as a zoom. Great for macro. Well pleased.
