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.Vollständige Rezension lesen

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.

I don’t think I can add anything that hasn't already been said. A very expensive lens when purchased new but bargains can be found on eBay. I would highly recommend this lens to anyone thinking of buying one.

Truly a pleasure to use. I have been playing at macro for quite a while using various simple techniques to keep the cost down. Whilst other methods can produce incredible images they require a lot of effort. With this lens for many subjects it is quite literally point and shoot. For standard close up the lens takes care of almost everything and when you need to get really close it is an excellent place to start from. Adding extension tubes and a reverse lens to the end can easily get beyond 2:1 macro where 12mm objects can fill the frame.

This little beauty provides an amazing amount of fun per dollar and comes highly reccomended. I currently have two L lenses and had looked at the new 100mm 2.8 macro L series but could not see the value against the EF. If you do decide to buy a macro lens you should really have a decent tripod to go with it. Handheld is OK but careful inspection of images at 100% will often show slight camera shake even at 100th sec or faster. Also maintaining your target in focus with a wide aperture whilst handheld is almost impossible at macro distances. The colour rendering is not as bright and saturated as with L lenses but it is OK and shooting in RAW makes changes easy. This also makes a good portrait lens on a full frame camera and the wide 2.8 aperture come in handy.
Before buying this lens I read a number of reviews, one of which said something like 'the best bang for your buck currently available in Canon lenses'. I must admit I'd support this assertion wholeheartedly, though without extensive qualification as I can't claim to have tried every lens in the Canon arsenal. My regular lens lineup includes 4 L series models (16-35 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8, 24-105 f4 IS, 70-200 f2.8 IS) and I'm used to their very high quality and also their very high price tag. I wanted a macro lens for a very specific amateur project and was therefore reluctant to spend circa £800 for the 100mm f2.8 L series macro, so following a little research I opted for this the cheaper version of this lens. All I can say is that I'm a very long way from disappointed: the images produced so far are sharp and clear by any standards (sorry I don't go for particularly scientific analysis as I'm only interested in the finished images I can produce). OK the lens isn't image stabilised, which would obviously be advantageous for a longer focal length macro lens, but careful use has yielded some cracking results. Build quality is fine, though as one would expect not as robust or refined as L series or the like. The idea was to get a macro lens, do the project and then sell it again here on Ebay, but to be honest at £300 I can easily justify keeping it for occasions when it might come in useful once again. For anyone interested in investigating macro photography this is one of those must-buy bits of kit, which wont disappoint. http://simonhastingsphotography.blogspot.com http://www.simonhastings.co.uk http://www.imageplayphoto.comVollständige Rezension lesen
An amazing lens that can be used for macro or as a prime lens. It has great clarity and pictures are sharp. I found it really easy to use.
