Canon's new hybrid stabilization system has debuted in a 100 mm macro lens promised to allow "a wider range of users to easily enjoy macro photography." Our results suggest the combination delivers on that promise.

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.

I bought this lens a couple of days ago. This is my first true macro lens. To get to know the lens I have taken dozens of test photos with my EOS 6D. I setup a tripod and took photos of some small nick-nacks with the 100mm F/2.8L and then attached the 24-105mm F/4L for comparison.

Great lens, clear pictures, great macro uses.

Consistent Output; Lightweight

Paid for this item and we got lower version which is almost half a price than what we have paid for.

Wanted this lens for a while. Glad I decided to make the purchase

Perfect for macro shots

I was pleased to see Argos selling L-series lenses. I am new to macro photography but can see it being very addictive. Super sharp results already. Very pleased.

This is a brilliant lens.Tried it hardly a week , the results are great .

I enjoy photographing details and portraits at weddings with this lens. Focus is snappy and images are great. We probably use it 50/50 for indoor portraits, versus non-human subjects. The bokeh is not smooth like an 85L but it's slightly busy look is distinctive. Two negatives.

Great image quality wide open; Fast and accurate AF in decent light; Distinctive bokeh

AF hunts in marginal conditions, even on a 5D4; Image stabilization mechanism "rattles" if you don't switch it off before removing from camera; Bokeh might be busy for some
