Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: "It is a wolf in sheep's clothing" - A Wicked Wolf!
Summary: 5 Stars
It deserves the red ring on its front end. The optical quality of this lens is on par or even better than some of the Canon L Zooms. The build quality while not like a L lens, it is enough to put a permanent dent in your head if you bang yourself with it.
And then there is Macro too! This is where I think this lens is just insanely phenomenal. Of course if you are new to macro photography, you will get so sick of the autofocus hunting. But you will learn to live with it. However I am told that the competition is worse..way worse.
Prepare to be blown away when you use it. One more thing though, this lens is quite heavy. I mean with my 30D the package weighs quite enough to ache your hand after a while. If you are used to L lenses, piece of cake. But if you are graduating from kit lens (my case), it does take some time to adjust to the weight.
And don't even bother taking macro shots without tripod..you will seriously force the lens to under-perform.
A certain must have in your camera bag!!!
