The Canon EF 100mm F2.8 Macro lens is a great close-up lens for both full frame and APS-C Canon EOS DSLR’s. With 1X Magnification this is the perfect macro lens for close ups of bugs, flowers etc. The 100mm is also a very capable portrait lens with its bright F2.8 aperture producing excellent depth of field.

Great for Macro photography & Portraits

A lens that appreciates the smaller things in life.

Discover the world in macro with the EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM. Lightweight yet robust, this macro lens is comfortable to use and the perfect choice if you’re starting out in macro photography. Utilising a ring-type ultrasonic motor, the autofocus is fast, accurate and quiet, providing up to life-size (1x) magnification and a long working distance of 5.9in (149mm). When focusing at 1x magnification, the lens does not extend – helping you avoid bumping into your subject!
The EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM is extremely sharp, even when wide open, helping you to bring even the tiniest subjects to life. Colour and contrast are superb, while vignetting, distortion and flare are all extremely well controlled. Its eight-blade aperture also helps to create excellent background blur, making it an ideal portrait lens.

Ring USM Auto Focus with Manual Override

The Canon EF 100mm f2.8 Macro USM is a sturdy, tough lens with astonishingly sharp optics, as well as allowing for 1:1 magnification and a 0.31m minimum focus range.

One of the latest additions to my collection is the Canon EF 100mm f2.8 Macro USM. It is a very well built lens, and feels sturdy when using it.
The 100mm f2.8 is still super sharp even wide open, and it allows for 1:1 magnification and a minimum focus distance of 0.31 meters from the sensor, allowing you to get up close to your subjects and fill the whole image with them.
For it's price, it's one of those must-have lenses, as it does much more than just macro - it is great for portraits as the f2.8 aperture allows for brilliant bokeh for backgrounds, and distortion and chromatic aberration is almost undetectable, in addition to very minimal vignetting.

Only issue is, it doesn't have image stabilisation - which often isn't an issue. The newer EF 100mm f2.8 Macro IS L series has it, but the price difference is quite substantial.

Overall an excellent lens.

This is one of the best lenses I have.
No vignetting even on FF cameras. It is sharp straight from 2.8 onward, and reaches its peak at f/8. Settings above f/11 kick in some diffraction.
There are no distortions or CA I can complain of.
Highly recommended!
