  • Tack sharp, out-of-this world macros, extreme bokeh for portraits!
Style: Lens Only
This lens is the best "L" lens you can buy for the money because of the following reasons: 1. It's under $1000 (I got mine for $899) Money is important, and the more you can save, the better. Tell me a lens of this quality for the same price. 2. It's super sharp! This lens is tack sharp! Just look at the photos in Flickr and here in Amazon. They are amazing, crisp, and vivid. My experience with shooting with this lens is phenomenal. It has taken my photography to a higher level (coming from 24-105mm L). If you want proof look at my Flickr account: "markserrano" (I can't put the exact URL as Amazon might remove it automatically). 3. It's f/2.8L! Lower aperture means, less ISO noise. Wedding photographers often tout to shoot at f/2.8 or lower. Shooting at nights and dimmed lights was far better than my usual f4 24-105mm L lens. Better here means it's really sharp and less noise! I'm using 6D (so far the king of low lights). So the combination is really great. 4. You can do REAL macro. Hands-down this is the main feature of this camera! You can really examine the hairs and antenna eyes from little insects and plants as well. The texture of the micro world is alive! 5. You can do REAL portraits. This is a bonus of this camera. WIth extreme bokeh, you can not ask for more. You can easily isolate your subject from the background. Again look at Flickr to see the sample shots. I think the only downside is this thing is super sharp for portraits. You want something less sharp and softer (I think if you're creative you can make your shots less sharp). 6. Lighter than my 24-105mm L! Lighter is always better. 7. Sharper than my 24-105mm L at the same focal length (100mm)! I've performed some tests and I can confidently claim the 100mm is the clear winner. No doubt. 8. IS is great! I've got numerous, excellent macro shots handheld alone! There are numerous times where a tripod isn't feasible really. It's not an option. IS is a must for handheld shots, plus it's good for portrait shots. Cons: * Focuses slower than 24-105mm L. Don't expect to capture fast moving objects! * It can't zoom. Duh! * The build feels less sturdy (plasticky feeling?) than my 24-105mm L Final recommendation: This is the best of the best! Legendary and mythical! If you don't believe, go to my Flickr account. Look for "markserrano" and check my shots (note: I'm not a professional photographer but I don't think I have a bad taste when it comes to composition). ... show more

  • A superb macro and portrait lens. Worth the extra over the non L/IS lens
Style: Lens Only
The canon EF 100mm f2.8L IS USM Macro lens is a bit of a monster to be honest. Like most other Canon L series lenses, this lens comes in a little bit heavier than standard EF or EF-S lenses. This is due in part to the excellent build quality (and weather sealing) and also in part to the inclusion of Image stabilization. Like many others, I spent a considerable amount of time trying to determine whether I should get this lens with image stabilization or whether to get the roughly $300 cheaper albeit non L series 100mm Macro lens. Generally the quality of the glass in a L series lens is higher than a standard EF series lens, so that would be a plus. The other big consideration was whether I wanted image stabilization. Now that I've had this lens for about a year I can say with full confidence that spending the extra for IS and the L series is definitely worth it. Controls on this lens are fairly standard across canon's series of lenses, you have a range selector switch, AF/MF switch and an image stabilization On/Off switch. Since this is a prime, there obviously isn't a zoom ring, just a focusing ring, which is nice and wide and has a very smooth motion to it. The Canon 100mm Macro lens is really a multi purpose lens. Although it's main use is for macro photography, you can very readily use this as a portrait lens on a full frame body (on a crop sensor this will be a 160mm lens which is a bit long for portrait photography) with excellent results. For the most part when shooting macro, you would want to shoot on a tripod with rail system and good lighting however since owning this lens I've found the amount of times that I've been out wandering around and happened across something that I wanted to shoot and didn't have my tripod with me to be a lot more than I expected. This is where the image stabilization on this lens comes into play. I've found that with the IS you get around a 2 stop advantage. It also makes taking macro shots by hand actually possible. Macro focusing is an art into itself. This lens allows you to stop all the way down to 2.8, with a beautifully creamy bokeh but a very narrow depth of field (for example, if shooting an insect, you may get the insects head in focus but the body will be out of focus) or go up the scale to allow more of your shot to be in focus. Of course, increasing your f-stop also means increasing your exposure time. Increasing your exposure time means the more likely there will be camera shake whilst taking the picture and as mentioned this is where the image stabilization kicks in for around 2 stops advantage. To get really close shots you can pair this lens with extension tubes. Extension tubes don't have any glass in them and simply create more of a distance from the back of your lens to the actual camera sensor. This effectively "zooms" you in further. Image quality from this lens is phenomenal. Very sharp images with wonderfully creamy boken produced by it's 15 elements. This lens creates the best bokeh I have seen form a lens, including the lenses I own that stop down to f1.4. If you are looking for possibly one of the best macro lenses on the market. you won't be disappointed with this lens. If you are looking for a great portrait lens, you won't be disappointed with this lens and if you are looking for a macro lens that you can use without the need of a tripod, then this is definitely lens you want. Overall the Canon EF 100mm f2.8L IS USM Macro lens is a winner. I'm so glad I paid the extra for the L series and image stabilization. Totally worth it. ... show more

  • Versatile Do it All Lens.
Style: Lens Only
The media could not be loaded. I bought this lens a couple of years ago and it’s probably the lens I use the most for all of my work. I was hesitant at first to buy this lens because I already had a 50mm and an 85mm But I took the gamble and I’m glad I did. This lens is super versatile and could handle basically any type of job. The Pros Build Quality - this is not a cheap lens and because of it the build is nice and sturdy. Image Quality - the images that this lens produces are spectacular and you won't be disappointed. Portrait Monster - This is an amazing portrait lens once you start doing portraits with it you’ll fall in love. Macro - With this being a Macro lens you could really get close to your subject and get great detail. Image stabilization - if you’re manually focusing or shooting video you’ll love the image stabilization. I shoot with a cinema camera that doesn't have any sort of stabilization and when I turn off the image stabilization my videos look like they were taken during an earthquake. It really does make a big difference The Cons Because it’s a 100mm prime lens most of the time depending on what you’re shooting you’ll have to step away from your subject especially if you have a cropped sensor. It takes a little getting used too but to me it's no big deal. Not very good in tight places - To that point if you’re in a tight place and you need to get a whole subject and you can’t move back then you’ll definitely need to change lenses. Overall I love this lens. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. ... show more
