The Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8 USM lens also allows excellent manual focus in AF mode. The high quality optics in this f/2.8 USM macro lens allows you to capture life size close-ups without any adapter.

  • Most Affordable Near-Perfect Lens for Macro & Portrait

    My comment below is strictly dealing with jpeg based photography and not RAW shooting -- I am a dedicated Nikon DSLR user most of the time. For landscape and casual general photography, I have found that Nikon DSLRs, both FX and DX, give me very accurate focus and exposure most of the time, whereas wtih Canon, I have had more very frustrating moments and disappointing shots. ... and yet, when it comes to photography in relation to travel and portrait involving your emotion and memory, I have been finding out that pictures taken with Canon to be more satisfying. Why? Because Nikon cameras have been developed as press photography which captures everything both ugly and beautiful. Today's low budget Nikon lenses are so sharp that they do produce very sharp images which rival Canon's high end L lens captured images. Unfortunately, when shooting pictures of ladies, Nikon camera captured images make anyone over the age of 25 without heavy make-up look so either ugly or grandma like. Nikon camera captures and reproduces every flaws of human skin. However, not so with Canon. Canon's jpeg engine is tuned to soften human skin by default and without heavy post processing work always bring out the best of portrait pictures. Perhaps, this is why Canon is so popular and successful. I've always wanted Canon's 85mm f/1.8 portrait lens. I have used Canon 85mm f/1.8 in FD film lens days, and I really liked it. I was about to make a purchase of EF 85mm by Canon, but a friend of mine sent me images of portrait pictures that he took with EF 100mm f2.8 macro. This lens produces very beautiful bokeh wide open, while capturing images in very sharp condition, and yet when shooting with 5D and 5D MK II, it produces very beautiful skin tone which makes everyone look so desirable, while allowing you to shoot super sharp macro photography at the same time. For this reason, I must say that EF 100mm f/2.8 is an extremely useful lens. I keep this on my 5D all the time to shoot both portrait and macro. This is one lens that you can live with for the rest of your life without any complaint with the exception of the fact that it does not have IS function.

  • Greatest value Macro

    This is a high quality, razor sharp, 1 to 1 AF lens that works on full frame and APS-C Canon EOS cameras. Even with the lens hood on you can stay several inches from your subject. Most of the time i leave it on my camera and keep the other lenses in the camera case because of its superb macro ability. I takes great distance pictures as well. The only disadvantage is that it does not have IS so it makes you a better photographer and you learn how to hold your camera still. If i had the extra money i would probably have bought the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens, but i dont make my living with it so i cant justify spending $800.00+ when the pictures are the same as long as i hold my camera still.

  • A utilitarian lens that gives great photos

    This lens does not have the fit and finish of L glass. It feels quite inexpensive to touch and the hood's fit doesn't have the same satisfying click of more expensive models. The filter size also does not match the majority of the L line. That said, the 100mm 2.8 macro produces superb images, has excellent auto-focus, and comes in at a very reasonable price. If you want to take fantastic macro photos - get this lens. If you want luxury, go with the L.

  • Excellent build, IQ and versatility.

    My experience is pretty much in line with the following comments from one of the largest and most respected photographic equipment rental companies. "One of the best general purpose macro lenses, Canon’s 100mm Macro is small enough to hand hold and fast enough to work well without a flash. It also functions well as a superbly sharp short telephoto lens. A number of people use it as an alternative ‘long’ portrait lens".

  • Great Lens

    Excellent lens. If you can find one in top-notch condition and get a good price, you will hit a home run with this lens. I put it on my Canon EOS R using an adapter, and I could not be happier with the images. I am currently using the lens to digitize my old slides, and it’s working perfectly.

  • Solid portraitmacro lens with better bokeh than the L

    This is a solid internal focus 1:1 macro lens with a metal mount and plastic body. Min focusing distance is about 10". It's fairly quite with it's USM focus motor although it's rather slow focusing. Certainly not silent when compared with my newer STM lenses though. So if you used it for video you will likely hear it. I got for macro, and it does a fine job there and the all internal focusing is nice.

  • An excellent lens!

    Great optics! A fantastic lens with the same optical performance as the IS version with half the money. Here is an extract from Ken Rockwell's page regarding this lens: Good News: "1.) Spectacular optics! 2.) Super sharp. 3.) No distortion. 4.) Super-fast focusing. 5.) Goes to 1:1 in one twist. 6.) I'll say it again: spectacular optics! Bad News: None. This is a great lens! I love this lens. It does everything well and has no weak points. It's hard to convey this in writing. This is one of those lenses that works so well, efficiently and effortlessly you wonder why all lenses can't be this good. By comparison, Canon's 50mm macro works well, but sounds like a toy when it focuses. This 100mm focuses instantly in near-silence. This is Canon's most practical macro lens. The reason you buy it instead of the 50mm is because when you're close to a subject, you can be so close that you can annoy insects or block your own light. This 100mm lets you step back a little further. This Canon 100mm is less expensive than any of the Nikon 105mm Micro (Macro) lenses, and it works better than either, too. It's easy to use and works great. This Canon macro doesn't have image stabilization. This isn't a problem, since I and most people shoot all my real macro shots with flash. It works perfectly on every Canon digital and autofocus SLR. The only Canons on which it won't work splendidly are manual-focus FD SLRs from the 1980s and before."

  • Top Macro lens without IS

    This lens is every bit as good optically as the current 100mm Macro lens with IS at a 3rd of the cost. I don’t worry about the Auto focus because I always use manual focus on close ups anyway. Buy it and save yourself a Bundle of green.

  • Perfect Flower Lens

    I have just begun experimenting with my new lens. I take lots of flower pictures and this is perfect for that genre. I get great close-ups without needing to be crouched on top of the plants, and excellent macro shots as well. It's a very clear, sharp picture, and my new go-to lens for flower work.

  • Great lens

    Awesome photos of insects! auto or manual focus. Be prepared the focal distance is short, needs lots of light! But I wanted macro, this is it!
