Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

Bring small things into full-sized view with the Canon EF 100mm macro USM lens. Macro lenses can uncover detail that would be impossible to detect by the eye and give new perspective to extremely minute subjects such as insects or the petals of a small flower, and this lens is no exception. The lens offers such features as a three-group floating system for exceptional close-up performance; a secondary diaphragm that blocks stray light at f/2.8, which increases contrast when shooting wide open; a ultra-sonic monitor (USM) that provides outstanding autofocusing speed at all focusing distances; a wide manual focusing ring with smooth action; and full-time manual focus even in AF mode. The first lens in its class to feature inner focusing, the lens carries a one-year warranty.

The 100mm Macro lens is great. I'm trying to get in a lot of practice before I REALLY need to use it for wildflowers and butterflies. I am using my tripod and remote triggering device to cut down on...

Customer Review: WOW!! , This lens closest thing to an "L" quality lens, Very Sharp!!

This lens 100mm Macro F2.8 is really crisp, sharp, excellent images. Have a 50mm canon lens and see a major difference (the extra distance is nice as well). Would recommend highly, Canon, you did it...
