I don't own this lens, but wish I did! I borrowed it from a friend for over a month and took one thousand shots with it. It's my ultimate macro lens - very sharp, good focal length and the colours have a special quality about them that really pop.

Mark and his team were highly recommended to me by a friend who had purchased from them. She was not wrong, the whole experience was a breeze. Thanks guys.

This is my first 'L' lens and was not disappointed. The lens is brilliant with quick auto focus (although I tend to use manual focus a lot of the time) and super sharp images. Wish I could afford to upgrade all my lenses to 'L's'. Highly recommended.

People who check out this lens need no introduction about the lens. Its one of the best lenses from Canon stable. Absolutely awesome. This is a macro lens with 1:1 magnification. Maximum aperture being f2.8. Has a 4 stop IS. I bought this lens after comparing it with the non L lens.

Canon's EF 100mm F2.8 L Macro IS USM lens is the first to incorporate a new Hybrid IS system, which corrects for both rotational and linear camera shake. The new technology builds on the company's widely-employed Image Stabilizer, and is said to be particularly effective for subjects shot at close...

I use this fine macro lens on a Canon 5d to digitize 35mm slides on a converted Kodak carousel rig. I can see the actual Kodachrome film grain on the digitized images. I definitely recommend this lens.

Sharp macro lens

The lens outer shell is plastic

Great macro lens, sharp and fast. It is also great for portrait shots!

Image-stabilised, full-frame macro lens offering exceptional image quality.

Stunning MTF performance

Nothing of significance

This is my first L lens...construction is great. compared to my 17-55 where the zoom ring rocks...the focus ring on the 100mm macro is rock solid. I've only tried hand-held macro shots and they've turned out very well.

sharp; well built; H-IS

pricey

This lens is nowhere as sharp as the Nikon 105mm 2.8 VR micro lens. I know because I also have that lens. I don't think it is worth $1049.00

light weight; IS helps

all plastic lens; pricey; not very sharp
