  | sent on 07 Dicembre 2013 Pros: Very sharp lens with great color and contrast, better than many L lenses. Very good bokeh, very low aberrations. 1:1 macro, internal focusing, front elements (as in most EOS lenses) do no rotate, does not change length during focusing. Cons: Not fast focusing, won't become a sports lens for anyone. The optional lens collar is horrible; an L-bracket is a better option. Opinion: Best bang-for-the-buck macro available for Canon (i.e the very best value for a macro lens, in case translations don't say it well). Also great for portraits (if f/2.8 is shallow enough for you) and landscapes. The IS model costs twice as much for no extra benefit aside from the IS. If you work from a tripod, this is a great lens to have. |

 | sent on 11 Febbraio 2022 Pros: Rather cheap, good sharpness already closing by one stop, very nice colors and blurred Cons: Constructive fragility Opinion: I had this lens for a few years, before switching to the L version. From an optical point of view, making a brief (and certainly not exhaustive) comparison, I noticed a greater sharpness at f / 2.8 of the L lens, but otherwise also the version reviewed here is excellent and very similar to the L, already chudendo to f / 4. For me who love shooting at f/2.8 to make naturalistic macros a little outside the classic canons is a bit of an important limit. However, on most occasions I was still very satisfied with it for the years I used it. Well balanced, good focus, to be a macro, on Eos 7D. Regarding the use in natural environments, I have some doubts about the build quality. I had to send the lens for assistance due to problems with the focus motor after a few years of use, which was replaced at rather high costs compared to the current price of the lens, especially if used. Talking to other owners of the same lens some similar problem popped up. I would therefore recommend it for those who want to start doing macros or make occasional and not burdensome use of it. Otherwise, in case of repairs, you risk adding additional costs that bring the overall outlay very close to that necessary for the purchase of a used in excellent condition of the L version. |
 | sent on 08 Novembre 2021 Pros: All Cons: Nothing Opinion: I wanted a macro lens without committing myself too much financially and found it used by a forum user a couple of years ago. Using it I was favorably surprised in all respects; weight, bulk, versatility and ... the beauty of macro photos at TA, so beautiful that they look like paintings that make you feel a bit like a painter and artist! I would be curious to test the L version to see the differences. Just some uncertainty of the AF detected on my model in some situation a bit 'at the limit. A gem! RATING 9.5 |
  | sent on 11 Maggio 2021 Pros: crisp, well built, AF efficient, yield and superb image quality, lightweight for a macro and also compact, derisory filter diameter, true RR 1:1, focus limiter, full time manual focus Cons: nobody Opinion: One of the sacred monsters of canon economic kits. If one wants to do serious macro without fainting, he can look at third-party lenses but in my opinion the first choice remains this lens. Fast AF, reliable construction, superb image quality at all diaphragms and shooting distances, full time manual focus, focus distance limiter as on large canvases and as you fit on a serious macro, RR 1:1 (of course). I'm really glad I got it, I didn't expect to be so satisfied! |
 | sent on 25 Aprile 2021 Pros: Sharpness, RR 1:1; the AF is relatively fast overall, but at the same time it is fast enough to be a macro, in any case it is very precise and it is at any operating distance. The blurry is good, the construction is robust, it is relatively light and also very handy, moreover it turns out to be very resistant to atmospheric agents despite not being tropicalized. Cons: Practically no one because its only limit, namely the fact that it is not stabilized, is known a priori. Opinion: Goal of the highest quality. The sharpness is already exemplary at Full Opening and improves, a little, between f 4 and f 5.6 where it reaches its peak quality. In field use it is extremely practical and handy, I have always used it freehand, even to the most demanding RRs, and frankly I have never felt, except in very rare cases, the lack of the stabilizer; it also shows good backlight hold. His blurry, honestly a little hard, is not very pleasant in "artistic" macrophotography... pass me the term, but on the other hand it is very suitable for scientific photography by virtue of the strong impression of sharpness that it gives in the details out of focus. In the end, I find this a very successful lens and not at all outclassed by its stabilized heir. |
 | sent on 23 Gennaio 2021 Pros: Brightness, sharpness, versatility, price of used Cons: I don't know Opinion: I have been using it with satisfaction for several years now, first on Canon 550D and now on 6D. It's probably the only lens of my kit that I couldn't really do without. Of course it is directed towards macrophotography (for which we often pair the kenko multiplier 1.4), but it can also be used for glimpses of landscape and especially portraits, although here the lack of stabilization can be felt since we are most often freehand. Soon I would like to move on to the L version, so as to have an even better overall quality and stabilizer. |
 | sent on 12 Maggio 2020 Pros: Great,I replaced the already remarkable tape 1,because unstable on series eos R,.from fantastic color rendering and used on eos 7 mk 2, it's great Cons: Nobody Opinion: Colors as rendis are very beautiful, and ultrasonic focus never betrays. Then I put some pictures. I will also use it for portraits where I will not regret the beloved 85mm. The canon lenses however never betray,I still have the old and loved 28 105 f 3.5 4.5 and every now and then I use co-dissatisfaction. Of course the 100 macro on the R series is not lightning fast but it gets away with |
 | sent on 30 Settembre 2019 Pros: sharpness, color rendering, internal focus, construction, lightness Cons: lack IS (but you know when you buy it), bulky lampshade Opinion: Bought used after my friend who had lent me another specimen asked me back his. I use it mainly on APS-C (I am considering the purchase of FF, in which case I would also use it on that, tried on a friend's machine body, fantastic results), for macro photos to insects. For my kind of macro, I rarely use the easel (let's say I do "macro itinerant hunting) maybe IS would have been comfortable, but often the move is given by the movements of the subject or wind more than my hand, so it's fine so (not to mention that, as someone has already written, the IS compensates for the up/down/left/right, but not the forward/back that so many problems of focusing gives to macro photos). The quality of the lens is great, the AF is not a lightning bolt (but I think it's more to blame than anything of my old 30D with which I use it), but it quietly does its job. This weekend I also used it for photos during an athletics competition (cloudy weather, so little light, and with the 30D to raise a lot the isos is not talked about) and it did not disappoint at all, indeed. In short, I am fully satisfied with it and I recommend it to everyone! ----AGGIORNAMENTO---- Bought my first FF (Canon 5D mark II, dated, but still excellent for my use) and the lens is spectacular, it gives really good results. Quality essentially indistinguishable even with the 1.4x multiplier (I in this case have the Kenko 300 PRO DGX), just with the 2x (always Kenko 300 PRO DGX) starts to lose something, but it still remains perfectly usable for web/social. |
 | sent on 13 Dicembre 2018 Pros: Sharpness, excellent colors where the best of itself on non-recent sensors, size Cons: I can't find Opinion: Bought used with the ambitions to start to macro photography and still life, I always find it in the bag and often attached to the machine. It is a lens that makes you love both in portraits and in other areas like landscape (!): It produces an exhilarating sharpness with really pleasing colors. Attached to non-recent bodies of type 5d old and 1dsii gives more than dignified files. On newer sensors (5DIII and 6dii) it holds the highest density so much that it becomes really difficult to detach it. Moreover, with AF more performant (5DIII), it does not truant too much in the MAF, even in difficult situations. Given the price of the used, I feel strongly recommend it. |
 | sent on 22 Novembre 2018 Pros: sharpness, blurred, color rendition, Overall yield "vintage". Cons: Very slow especially in low lights but it is a 2000 lens, it is there. Opinion: Gorgeous. Even at full aperture gives you exciting, crisp files. I use it almost exclusively for portraits, the detail and sharpness it offers are really great. For portraits maybe even too much, you have to act in post on skin sharpness because it highlights every detail. Very slow with little light, you have to use it after well understood to be able to exploit the best potential. I highly recommend it, with a relatively low expense you can buy a really portentous lens with strong personality. I would not change it with anything, for the use I do. |
 | sent on 07 Dicembre 2017 Pros: Very clear already from F / 2.8, fast autofocus and above all accurate, beautiful bokeh, cheap if taken used Cons: Good but not excellent construction, shade to be purchased separately Opinion: A lens to have in the kit in my opinion. It is used at affordable prices and has an incredible quality, very clear already from F / 2.8 has a silent autofocus and very precise, the fuzzy is creamy and the ring of fire is smooth and pleasant to use.rnOne two in the hood are not included (to be purchased separately) and a building is robust, but not excellent |
 | sent on 23 Settembre 2017 Pros: Construction, Optical Quality, AF. Cons: Nobody. Opinion: Very well-built optics and excellent quality. Used in both the still life field, giving a remarkable detail precision, both in the wedding field capturing those details that a normal lens could not. It was also used in portraits but I find it too sharp already at 2.8 and too long. The only counter (stabilization and haze) that might have disappeared by buying the L IS version. |
  | sent on 30 Agosto 2017 Pros: Clarity, color, internal focus, excellent even in non-macro use. Cons: For the use that I do none Opinion: Taken almost by accident during an exchange, actually looking for the 100/2, has become a staple of my kit. Apart from the macros, which I always promise to start doing but for the moment I'm a freak, I use it in all those cases where I do not want to bring the biancone. In fact this 100mm is fine even in non-macro use and especially in portraits. Of course there is the 100L which is also stabilized but I did not want to spend too much for this lens that is useful but not indispensable. To recommend definitely, a nice 9.5 |
 | sent on 31 Dicembre 2016 Pros: crystal clear, realistic color rendering, internal focus, excellent also in use are not macro. Cons: after several months of use, yet I can not find. That was not IS I already knew, but a useless accessory believe Opinion: now bought a few months ago, I waited, before being able to express my opinion about, to have it tested her going. I must say that from the beginning I was excited and not a little, after the first insects and flowers I'm loving it. Also in the bag and ready on every occasion in which it is necessary definition and ability to avvicinanento. 1: 1 ratio of ff becomes equivalent to a 160 mm with additional magnification ratio of aps-c. Hood of a generous size prevents its use when placed in a resting position. No second thoughts on the lack of the SI as or shots with safety times or use a tripod. The IS will also limit the lateral oscillations but not the forward back during close-ups or the action of wind on the subject. For now I can not find negative points. |
 | sent on 29 Ottobre 2016 Pros: Sharpness, autofocus, lightness, precision, the barrel comes out during focusing. Cons: Nobody Opinion: Purchased used a month ago, after my Tamron 90 broke definitively. It is a fabulous lens. Impressive sharpness, the 'autofocus (sporadically used for some portrait the fly to one of my dogs) is fast, low-noise, compared with Tamron that still consider myself a good feeling. L 'most interesting aspect in my opinion is that the barrel during the focus does not come out, and I think this is an advantage especially when photographing insects. Really a lens lady. |
 | sent on 25 Luglio 2015 Pros: Sharpness, contrast, color, construction, light weight, price. Cons: Anything. Opinion: A 100mm mark great, I use it a lot and I can not find fault, the yield is good on FF and also on Aps-c. The 100mm focal have a ductile, can be used for different types of photography. The focus is internal, fast is very precise. The construction is good and all in all the lens is light enough. Goal that I can only recommend ... top! For those who in addition to all these positive features also want the stabilizer and weather sealing, the L series is ... point. |
 | sent on 20 Aprile 2015 Pros: Sturdy, sharp, blur pleasant. Cons: None. Opinion: Excellent macro lens that I use with great satisfaction. For me it has little or nothing to envy to the "L" series that I've tried in the past, since I find the optical yield nearly identical. Usabilissimo in portraiture using aperture from f / 2.8 to 3.5, since already at f / 4 there are even skin pores. Quiet and fast in focusing even in macro mode. Spettacolare.rnL'assenza stabilizer, as some say, is not a defect, but a design choice. It 'sa bit like complaining that he had bought (consciously) a kilo of apples and then complain that the taste is not like pears. |
 | sent on 07 Dicembre 2014 Pros: sharpness Cons: absence stabilization Opinion: Does not extend focheggiando, and this is a lot. Why is it difficult to find a macro lens that is not clear, between the various models of the builders. But enjoy the advantage of not stretching, not everyone. Then, it is a macro modern. In the sense that gets along very well even indefinitely. I used it for portraits, sometimes for landscapes, beyond the obvious use at close range. Particularly as to correct distortion and light fall on the edges, it is a pleasure to open an image editor, select the hotfix dedicated, and find that the preview image does not happen much. No stabilization, as the model that has followed. But the price, helps to console. |
 | sent on 05 Novembre 2014 Pros: Nice quality / price ratio a beautiful lens is a nice sharpness and brightness, silent in focus Cons: So far I have not found anything that belonging that does not have the stabilizer Opinion: I've recently and I can already tell that really makes some good clear pictures and beautiful light is a lens that would definitely recommend for the price. This can be good not only for macro photography for portraits too. I use it very often especially for close-ups and details, I would recommend for those who want to start macro photography and portraiture. |
 | sent on 30 Maggio 2014 Pros: sharpness, brightness, prezzorn Cons: improved construction Opinion: From the point of view of an optical lens is great, really sharp, with constant yield from the center to the edges; chromatic aberrations almost absent. From the constructive point of view improved, in particular the ring of the focusing a manual. Considering the value you can still pass over this aspect seen that in each case focusing a precise result. To use freehand would of been nice stabilization, but this aspect was not part of the thought - certainly not at the level of yield constructive - like professional grade optics (L). The newest version, series L, is stabilized and tropical ... but it has a very different price. Ultimately it is a crystal clear lens that gives its best in macro shooting. Side note: annoying having to buy the lens hood separately. |
 | sent on 18 Luglio 2013 Pros: Construction, sharpness, USM, money Cons: hood sold separately Opinion: Great lens for macro, the image quality is perfect and the ultrasonic motor is fast and quiet, the price given the quality of construction is also very competitive! I use it mainly for macro but it is also great for portraits seen the aperture (f/2.8) ... what about great lens canon of the house. |
 | sent on 06 Giugno 2013 Pros: excellent optics, autofocus fast but want to pass in a shot from infinity to 31cm, and price is not an exaggeration; missing the hood but does not seem to suffer easily flare and reflections Cons: plastic construction, if one side has perhaps helped to keep down the price, it is not up to the lens, although very little with the hand clutching at certain points you feel the barrel fixed yield slightly Opinion: It's still a great goal, quiet, perfect not only for the macro, but also for general use and portraits and also has a price / performance ratio very favorable, good looking you can find on the net a little more than what they cost competitors, but more offers in the internal focus that is not a trivial matter especially if you are photographing insects in the field |
 | sent on 13 Marzo 2013 Pros: Sharp, construction, AF, value for money. Cons: No Opinion: I was torn between the 100 and 90 tamron canon and luckily I opted to primo.rnSpesso the photographer a few cm from the subject and the AF interior alone is worth the price difference, plus the USM fast enough (if appropriately limited) also helps to use less convenzionali.rnLa optical quality does not want and is very crisp and clear TA.rnLo blurred it says that it is not the best, but I find it gradevole.rnLa quality of the construction is in line with the rest: excellent . rnQualche time I regret a greater detachment of the plans, characteristic of the lenses with longer focal length, but closer to the macro and the price at which it is proposed is a true affare.rnL 'I also preferred his older brother (100 L is USM) macro because if I do, I always go with the stand (so for me the stabilizer is "useless") and for any portraits because I preferred the openings 85 1.8. |
 | sent on 07 Marzo 2013 Pros: Sharpness, strength, quality optics Cons: Nothing Opinion: I found it very good value for money, I purchased a very used at a reasonable price. Remarkable effectiveness of autofocus, very appreciable yield of sharpness, the blurred and also the color. By mounting the camera on a tripod does not regret the stabilized version ... as long as you are using it mainly for macro shots. |
 | sent on 13 Febbraio 2013 Pros: Sharpness and engraving, price Cons: No Opinion: I took this lens with the 7D, buying a package from a colleague. I never acqusitato a lens like that and I would have lost a great glass! He incision incredible, a very good focus, it is a pleasure for portraits and of course for macros. For the price it costs I think he has a great build quality as well! RnrnConsigliatissimo.rn |
 | sent on 11 Febbraio 2013 Pros: Sharpness, compactness, light, fast autofocus, low price Cons: Hood not included Opinion: Great lens for macro and portraits. The autofocus is very fast thanks to the selector of the distances. In the macro AF is not always accurate and fast (maybe with my 40D), a problem that can be addressed using the liveview. Light using a freehand, given the macro focal length is not exaggerated easy shooting freehand. |
 | sent on 03 Gennaio 2013 Pros: Sharpness, f/2.8 aperture, build quality, AF is not bad even for non-macro photos Cons: missing the lens hood, however, sold separately Opinion: This lens has been a revelation, it is a perfect lens, razor sharp wide open, robust and cost, I got it used in perfect condition € 250, there is also a version L stabilized, but at the level of image quality they are . If the lens is a must have if you want to do macro, very good for non-macro photos with fast AF and good brightness. |
 | sent on 13 Dicembre 2012 Pros: Excellent image quality, sharpness, Construction Materials, Internal Focus, Maghifico Bokeh. Cons: A bit slow auto focus Opinion: I bought used for as little as 300 euro (including the hood), I immediately noticed the strength of the materials and the convenience of internal focus, ie the lens expands its length during focusing, for macro is a useful thing. It 'also great for portraits and sharp at F2.8 but already the highest in F4/F5. The focus to infinity loses a lot, but it's still a Macro lens and it is here that the best. I combined all'extension Tube EF12 II and it does not lose anything in brightness in it qualità.rnMolto satisfied with this fulfill purchase, highly recommend it. |

 | sent on 22 Novembre 2012 Pros: Excellent image quality, accurate and silent AF, price, construction Cons: I missed the hood, also due to lack of front lens protection. Opinion: AND 'been mine first optical Canon 5dmk1 acquired for business purposes. It was to play a large number of antique prints on behalf of a newborn museum in 2007. My choice of using a digital camera, at the time, it did turn up their nose to customers threatening to refuse the work, and having to divert one A0 scanner .. Sic .. (the originals were very large) .rnAlla end, the quality of the images provided dall'accoppiata Canon 5d and 100 mm. f. 2.8 macro has been such, and to the very edges, that none of my interlocutors strict dared fiatare.rnEccellente for portrait. |
 | sent on 03 Luglio 2012 Pros: Sharpness, autofocus ring-type USM, no distortion, quality / price ratio Cons: Visible vignetting wide open on FF, not rounded diaphragm blades, bokeh neutral but not fantastic Opinion: Excellent optics, excellent for portraits at room temperature and for product photography in the studio. Construction very good for the price range. For a longer focal length macro advice, especially on FF. Excellent precision AF system. If you want a very versatile lens is the right choice, but if you want a specific lens for portraits in the same price range I would recommend the Canon EF 100mm f / 2 |
 | sent on 28 Maggio 2012 Pros: Sharpness, price, color, weight / size, USM AF Cons: hood not included Opinion: Really sharp already from 2.8, very very sharp. Value for money really excellent and good availability in used, the AF (if we think it is a macro lens that we are talking about) is very good. The construction though not by L-series is still very good also. Consigliatissima. When used for portraits is sometimes a little merciless ..... |
 | sent on 11 Febbraio 2012 Pros: excellent construction and excellent optical quality Cons: lacks hood, sold separately Opinion: Also possess this perspective for many years and I have to say to be very happy, being able to ensure superb optical quality already at full aperture and up to f: 8, even at the edges. For portraits is a bit 'hard and not very bright, but this may not be that obvious in view that the manufacturer has created as a "macro". Although optimized for close distances, remains excellent even focheggiando infinity. If you do not need additional brightness or can not do without stabilization remains a choice irrinunziabile because of the excellent quality / price ratio |
 | sent on 09 Ottobre 2011 Pros: Solid construction, well finished, inner fire, sharpness and contrast, no distortion and chromatic aberration. Cons: Nothing Opinion: Mainly use this lens for studio portraits and reproductions. The color quality is at the highest level. The distortion is absent. The USM motor is very quiet and veloce.I colors are fantastic and free of chromatic aberration. The quality / price ratio is unbeatable. Indispensable selector distances focussed. Another jewel by Canon. |
 | sent on 25 Settembre 2011 Pros: Sharpness, construction, internal focus, usm, price is not an exaggeration Cons: No Opinion: Great lens in all: sharpness, blur, building. In my view, can also be used at f/2.8 for portraits. Compared to competitors from other manufacturers (Tamron 90, Tokina 100, Sigma 105) has the added usm motor and the internal focus. Thanks to these autofocus is fast and quiet and the lens does not extend during focusing. In addition to this, considering the quality of Canon's 70-90 € more worth it all! |
