Product Description

This telephoto macro lens is capable of focusing to life-size (1X) without attachments. Although it replaces the EF 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, it is a completely new design. It incorporates a ring-type USM giving quiet, high-speed autofocus. The full-time mechanical manual focus gives very smooth manual focusing. For the first time in a 1X focusing telephoto macro lens, inner focusing is used.The lens length remains constant and a long working distance of 149mm makes worrying about getting too close to the subject unnecessary. Also, during focusing the front ring does not rotate making use of front-mounting accessories like macro ring lites simple and effective. "Three-group floating" focusing construction uses three independently moving groups, which holds focusing-related changes of aberrations to a minimum giving excellent image quality all the way from infinity to life size.

If only it were an L lens. I have to hide this one from my friends.
I like this focal length in a macro, and I like the aperture. I wish the L series macro were not 180mm, because I want a shorter macro. But Canon, those cads, don't make a short Macro in a L Series lens. So I had to buy some plastic. Oh well. It's fine, I guess. But not as sensual as my silky smooth L lenses. As a matter of fact, I am kind of embarrassed by it's lack of a red ring, and plasticky-ness. But it works ok, and someday, I pray Canon will make me a nice L Series, honest to god METAL macro in a shorter focal length. Like 65mm, and f2.5, OK Canon gods?

Fantastic!
If you are into photography and want to show detail then this is the lens for you. This lens is the best for showing great details in your photos. I photograph nature alot and this lens can even pick up the little white flys. If you want things that small this is the lens. When I photograph people it is awesome with closeup shots in showing how smooth or rough the face and hair are. I think this lens is the best lens Canon could have come out with.

Great Lens
This lens is amazing! Astonishing sharp and with a very nice bokeh.
Highly recommended!!!

I love this lens!!!
This was the first lens that I purchased for my XTi and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I enjoy macro, but I also wanted something that would be equally good for portraits. I have been able to get really captivating candid shots of people with this lens and extreme close-ups of whatever I wish. It is ancredibly sharp and fast, and I believe it is everything ou would want in a lens. This is a MUST buy even if you have to save up for it. You will not be disappointed.

Excelent lens for my camera kit
Excellent lens to have in your camera kit. Sharpness is great and the AF is very fast.
