Review on Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras - Lens Only by Mateusz Gsiewski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

I am happy with the lens; it produces wonderful portraits and has quick and precise focus. I preferred the Zeiss 100/2 macro, but it is much more expensive and does not have autofocus, which is essential for many. Of course, you won't get a close-up of a fly's eye, but the MP-E65 lets you to take fully functional pictures at 1/25 (as long as the subject isn't a macro), and I don't think you'll regret it.:)

Pros
  • Fast, precise, and reasonably priced, 2.8 is a great working hole!
Cons
  • With the native lens hood attached, it is cumbersome and impossible to put on, making it impossible to twist the polarizer as well. It occasionally makes ominous noises while auto-refocusing, as if it's about to be covered:) The focus could be lost in a dimly lit space.
