This is a superb lens not only for macro work but for general use. It gives you a good working distance with macro objects, and is equally suitable for more distant subjects. Quality holds at all f Stops. When used with my unforgiving Canon DFSr pictures are crystal clear and sharp.

Excellent lens good working distance from macro objects; suitable for all purpose use as well

none really; you may want to use manual focus in some situations for extreme close-ups

I liked the non-L version of this lens quite a bit, & got some wonderful photos with it. I was very hesitant to upgrade to the L IS version because I had read that there wasn't much to be gained by upgrading. I finally bit the bullet, sold my other lens, & ordered this one.

This lens has blown me away. It is my first IS lens from Canon. I own a 85 1.2L and it is slow to focus and forget about hand hold as it has no IS. This 100 2.8L macro is super sharp, fast auto focus and accurate as well.

This lense has exceeded my expectations. The macro is great, but I was surprised at how awesome it works as a portrait lens as well. Extremely sharp but beautiful bokeh for macro and portraits.

This is an excellent lens which offers image stabilisation in two planes to provide a crisp image . Close shooting gives a slightly bigger than full size image on the camera sensor. After checking prices with a number of retailers John Lewis was competetive and the lens was available in store.

Nice bokeh, image stabilisation, handles high contrast situations well, pics have a beautiful refined detail. Great for macro, portraits, cropped in landscapes etc.

This is among the best lenses from Canon. It features silky smooth focusing and is a beauty of a lens. Sharpness, colour rendition and contrast are also class apart. Canons EF 100 mm lens with the new Hybrid IS system offers a more complete and refined motion compensation to deliver the best results

I've long wanted to get a real macro lens, I have a gamut of other great Canon glass but had always just kind of faked the macro stuff I was shooting. With the Canon spring sale this year, I finally bit and got this 100mm Macro and holy cow!! Talk about an upgrade and some amazing glass!

very good service, delivery . great lens.

A good addition to my field kit bag.

Very nice to work with; Very smooth; The blur is very nice with the 9 blades; I am very impressed.clear sharp image and at a good price
