A Lente USM Macro IS EF 100mm f/2.8L da Canon é uma versão notavelmente atualizada da popular lente Macro 100mm da Canon. Na sua encarnação mais recente, a 100mm f/2.8L Macro se junta à respeitada série L da Canon; Sendo assim, ela é vista como uma lente de alto nível de potência de resolução, de construção geral, e de resistência à água. Outros aprimoramentos encontrados na EF 100mm f/2.8L incluem Estabilização de Imagem Ótica com até 4 pontos de controle de tremido e um USM (Motor Ultra-sônico) para focagem automática mais rápida e silenciosa com acionamento manual constante.
Como a sua predecessora, a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L permite uma distância de fotografia confortável e livre de sombras entre o barril de lente frontal e o assunto com ampliação (1:1) de tamanho real. Tubos de extensão opcionais aumentam essa ampliação para detalhes "close-up" excepcionais.

This is a truly great lens in most respects, but it does have some faults. The resolution and the bokeh this lens produces are outstanding and place this lens among the very best macro lenses out there. Actually, it is a better macro lens than all other 100mm offerings, except the Zeiss 100mm Makro Planar, and it is a better lens in many respects than the Zeiss.The biggest reason I didn't buy the Zeiss was the Zeiss isn't a true 1:1 macro lens (it's only 1:2), and the Zeiss doesn't have any AF or IS at all, which were limitations that were not suitable for my purposes (butterfly photography, where you don't have all day to focus manually, plus the hand-movement of doing so often startles the subject).However, the flipside to this is the fact the Canon's ability to manual focus (when critical MF is called for) is a joke compared to the Zeiss. In real numbers, you can focus from closeup to infinity with a mere 180 degree turn of the wrist with the Canon, while it takes you about 720 degrees of rotation to go from zero to infinity focusing the Zeiss. In other words, the Zeiss is 4x more precise in the manual focus department than the Canon, and it just feels like a much higher-quality instrument in this regard also.Both the Zeiss and the Canon take absolutely superb-quality images, and both produce superb-quality bokeh (out-of-focus background blur), both of which are key elements to macrophotography. Thus, if you're deciding on a macro lens for yourself, and want the very best, then your decision will be between this EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens by Canon or the 100mm f/2.0 Makro Planar by Zeiss. If you're serious about the best 100mm macro lens for your Canon body, it's going to be a choice between these two. The Tamrons and the Sigmas don't even come close.In order to decide which of these two lenses is best for you, you will need to question your own motives for getting a macro lens. If you always use a tripod, and if your subjects don't require true 1:1 magnification (e.g., portrait), and if your usual subjects stand still long enough for you to get absolutely perfect focus (and if your budget permits a ~$2000 lens), the Zeiss would be the clear choice. However, if you are out in the field alot, and if you shoot hand-held alot (and thus could use the Image Stabilization), and if you want to get true 1:1 magnification, and/or if many of your live-capture opportunities will be fleeting and so you need a fast auto-focus to capture a tiny creature while there's time (rather than a slow and deliberate manual focus that might take too long before the opportunity is gone), then I would get the Canon, which is what I personally did.As an owner of this Canon L lens, I love it for what it does: which is produce crystal-clear images and possibly the best bokeh I have ever seen out of any lens of any kind (even better than the Zeiss). But I would be lying if I said I still don't have it in my head to go ahead and get the Zeiss Makro Planar also, for what *it* does, which is offer absolutely precise manual focus. Because the biggest drawback to this Canon is its pitiful manual focus. If you move your hand, even a little bit, as you attempt to focus, it produces a dramatic difference because of the fact it only takes a 180-degree rotation to go from 1:1 to infinity, which again is a joke. The bottom line is the rotational elements for this Canon lens were made with auto-focusing as its main goal, and that's fine when you need it. But there are often some critical moments in macro-photography that require the super-precise focusing efforts, and 720-degree rotation capability of the Zeiss precision is simply superior to the Canon in this regard.But other than that, the Canon lens is a truly great lens in MOST of the key elements to macrophotography ... and the image-quality, the color rendition, and super-creamy bokeh it produces truly are top-notch ... and overall I am very happy with my desicion to have purchased it.Anyway, for what it's worth, that is my $0.02 ...Hope this helps,

Pros - Sharp images, IS gives you a fighting chance w/o a tripod-just don't lean forward or back.
Cons - Even w/range adjustments, the AF does too much traveling. It startled me when it made a loud staggering/grinding noise like you hear when shifting worn gears on a truck. I almost dropped the camera. I shoot w/a 40D and had plenty of light. I must have received a bad copy.
This is my 3rd L-series lens. The light weight is great, but I expected more. I take away one star for the AF issue, and one star for the Tripod Mount Ring gouging ($190 - Really?)

Comments about Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens:
Having an "L" lens in my bag now, the 70-200, I had no doubt that this 100 2.8 "L" Macro IS would please me just as well. And it does. I know that I've read some reviews that weren't too pleased with the build of the lens because of the lack of metal. The high impact resins that are made today not only are tough but the weight that they shed is a big benefit especially when hand holding for a close up macro shot. It makes the lens much easier for that steady hand that you need especially in low light conditions. Assisted with the "IS" enhancement really makes it a dream lens. The large manual focus ring is as smooth as silk and the auto focus 3 position switch certainly helps. When using my Canon 7D on a tripod along with the live view 2 position magnification screen, I can really pinpoint the lens to its most finite focus, and incredible bokeh. So, don't wait as long as I did to pick one of these beautiful lenses up. Why wait to have a great time shooting "Inner Space".

I use it to shoot video and it's a real nice lens. Not only did we use it to shoot macro close ups, but it works well with medium shots in our films.
Nice DOF and love the crispness.

Comments about Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens:
I almost got a Sigma macro OS but held out for the Canon. Thumbs up for sharpness and overall quality. Thumbs down to Canon for charging about $200. for the optional tripod collar, a major RIP OFF! Thumbs down for the Focusing Distance Range Settings. There is 3 settings, 1ft to 1.6ft, 1ft to Infinity, and 1.6ft to Infinity. Why not have a 4th setting for portraits at about 2 to 3 ft to Infinity or eliminate the redundant 1.6ft to infinity setting. Having an improvement on this would help on faster autofocusing and help lessen the searching that the slow AF does. Also I"m weary about plastic on L lenses.

Got good results on my 7D for both portraits and macro work. Color and sharpness are excellent just like any other L-grade prime. IS works but not as effective in macro shots. Perhaps the non-IS version is better value? I don't know but I got addicted to IS and would not look back.

LOVE this lens! I'm using it for HD on a 5DMII. It gets me right on top of the details without having to get too close physically. And with the IS, pans and tilts are a breeze.

Great lens! Use it for flowers, products, portraits... basically anything. It's sharp and the colors are great. 2.8 is amazing and brings a new style to some of my shots. I don't mind that its not made from metal, it's got enough weight to is as it is. Overall, I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone who's serious about photography.

Only reason for a 4 rating is I just bought the the lense and have not tapped into its full potential. Solid, sharp, and well contructed. Plan to use as a portriat lense to compliment my EF 85mm lense.

I've owned both the Non-IS and now the IS canon 100mm Macro Lens. While the 100mm non-IS model is an extremely solid and good performing lens, the L version definitely gives you a good reason to spend for the better glass. Very sharp, and build is solid, however the main attraction for me is the IS feature. This gives me up to 4 times the stopping speed so i can do ad-hoc handheld shots. The focusing USM is blazing fast and ACCURATE. I recommend this lens for anyone that wants to get into macro/fun photography.

Comments about Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens:
It's a Canon L lens, so you get the expected solid construction, excellent optics, and in this case amazing IS system. This lens only differs slightly from the non-L version, mostly in the inclusion of the image stabilizing system. The IS system is very helpful, though, for both photography and while shooting video, which I've already done a bit of with this lens.
The image equality is top notch, the focussing is fast, it works well for macro as well as portrait photography, and the IS makes it a great video lens as well. Hurts financially to buy expensive glass like this, but the quality you receive makes it well worth it.
