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.

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!
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.
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.
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
