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: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
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.
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.
