Ideal lens for Macro Photography

This is a prime lens and works perfectly for macro photography. It is internally focussing and therefore the focal length does not change. It would be great to have a product manual explaining everything on the lens in detail, its use and how to operate.Read full review

Not bad

I bought this lens and after trying it out I deicided it wasn’t what I was looking for, as I really wanted a macro that I could use in hand held shooting, and this one requires a tripod in most situations. I returned it but luckily I found a good deal on the L-series 100mm lens and bought that one instead. Major upgrade! Go for the L-series model if your budget allows it, it’s worth every penny!Read full review

What a great lens !

If you want to take really professional looking macro photos at a relatively reasonable price this is the lens for you. The results that I've had attaching it to my Canon 60D are amazing (hover flies have really cute faces!) Close up shots are its selling points, photos are really crisp and I use this as my main lens these days, only changing it ffor when I need to use a zoom. I'm not a camera geek but I do know a good product when I see it, and when it carries the Canon brand name, you know you just can't go wrong. Highly recommended.Read full review

Fast accurate focusing.

Spent the summer doing macro photography using an old lens and a macro filter, very hard work with such a shallow depth of field. Then I bought this amazing lens second hand and have never looked back. It has two focusing ranges with a minimum of 31cm which was great for the insects I was shooting, even subjects as small as 4mm which when cropped and sharpened in photoshop were reasonable images. As the range from 31cm to infinity can be focused on, the lens takes decent shots of larger more distant subjects as well. Focusing is very rapid and accurate as you would hope from a USM lens. All in all this is a great lens for macro photography and if you can afford an IS version it is even better having borrowed one for a few days. I used mine with a Canon 70DRead full review

Canon EF lenses are exceptional for the price

The lens had a specific task in enhancing an indoor image, lighting and using a domestic setting is always problematic. The lens produced results better than expected.

Limited use so far

I have not been able to get out and use this lens yet,but have had a little play indoors. With my very amateur and inexperienced eye I am very impressed with the outcome. Look forward to more expansive use in the future.Read full review
