EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro
Strength:
Extremely sharp. An L lens without the red ring.
Weakness:
AF is slow compared to USM lenses. An excellent, sharp, fast 100mm prime with macro ability. MM is slower than USM, but with a macro shot, you'll MF anyway. Portraits are nice with this lens, but may be a bit *too* sharp! Similar Products Used: 100/2.0 |

EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro
Strength:
Razor sharp pics. Excellent optics.
Weakness:
The AF is slow. Optics-wise, this lens is as good as any "L" lens Canon has ever made. If only they had something other than the slow micro-motor, AF would be faster. Customer Service Never needed any Similar Products Used: Tamron 90mm macro |

Model Reviewed:
EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro
Strength:
Sharp 1:1 images with excellent color and sharpness. Front element is recessed enough that a lens hood isn't really that necessary. Uses 52mm filters.
Weakness:
It's a little heavy for handheld work in marginal lighting. This lens is a very good 1:1 macro lens. Operation is the best with manual focusing for macro work. This lens is a little too sharp for portrait work. Similar Products Used: Tamron 90mm macro |
