Product Description
L1) CANON 100MM F/2.8 MACRO USM EF
Amazon.com Product Description
Bring small things into full-sized view with the Canon EF 100mm macro USM lens. Macro lenses can uncover detail that would be impossible to detect by the eye and give new perspective to extremely minute subjects such as insects or the petals of a small flower, and this lens is no exception. The lens offers such features as a three-group floating system for exceptional close-up performance; a secondary diaphragm that blocks stray light at f/2.8, which increases contrast when shooting wide open; a ultra-sonic monitor (USM) that provides outstanding autofocusing speed at all focusing distances; a wide manual focusing ring with smooth action; and full-time manual focus even in AF mode. The first lens in its class to feature inner focusing, the lens carries a one-year warranty. - Focal length: 100mm
- Maximum aperture: 1:2.8

What a fun lens September 9, 2010
J. Jeffery (Texas)
I borrowed this lens for about a month and have had a great time with it. It takes really nice pictures and the macro is a lot of fun.
Previously I've only put dioptic filters on my 85mm 1.8. The real macro lens works much better in all areas but autofocus (which is macro work anyways). The autofocus on the lens used in portrait applications is not bad, but much slower than the 85mm 1.8. It is also twice the size.
Very Pleased! September 3, 2010

This lens is fabulous! I feel in this case you get what you pay for and more. Being a newbie to the photography world this lens is a great place to start. I would highly reccomend this lens to a beginner-intermediate photographer if you know how to use your camera. At a constant 100mm you have to MOVE with this lens to get that perfect shot!

I was agonizing between this lens and the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM. Basically, the reviews and specifications are similar. The 100 mm lens is EF while the 60 mm lens is EF-S, so the 100 mm lens is compatible with full frame cameras. However, most people willing to invest in a full frame camera are probably considering the 100 mm L lens. My thoughts on comparing the two lenses:
1.) Price is similar, with the 60 mm being $100 less only
2.) 60 mm lens weighs half as much
3.) Both get 5/5 stars with around 100 reviews on Amazon
4.) Magnification is the same on both (1:1)
5.) You can stay a bit further from your subject with the 100 mm lens at max magnification, 1 ft rather than 8 inches
Anyway, I was unable to decide between the two, and I saw that the 100 mm lens was available from Amazon. I decided to test-drive it and keep it if I was happy. My thoughts:
1.) The lens didn't seem that extraordinary on my camera, but I was extremely pleased with the results once I looked at them on a big screen. It's sharp and the colors are beautiful.
2.) I thought I'd rather have a 100 mm lens than a 60 mm lens since I already have a 50 mm lens. However, I think 100 mm is a rather awkward focal length on the non-full frame camera. It's not long enough to take much in the way of animals and birds, but it's often too long to take pictures of pets or people you're with. For things in macro, it doesn't make much difference since you're going to be so close to the subject either way.
3.) The lens felt very heavy on the camera given that it's a fixed lens
For me, the main argument for the 100 mm over the 60 mm was that I had a 50 mm lens already, and I thought it would be great to have another fixed lens at a different focal length. The main argument for the 60 mm lens was the weight. After using the lens, I think the 60 mm is probably a better choice for non-full frame users.
Fantastic Lens August 11, 2010
