Pros:Very solid lens but not heavy. Very sharp, and the colors and bokeh are so beautiful that they leave you breathless.
Cons:I haven't detected anything so far.
Opinion:The exact moment I bought it I fell in love with it. It is the lens among mine, which I prefer the most. First of all for the beautiful colors and excellent bokeh that make him a leader in the field of macro photography, but also in portraiture he has given me a lot of great satisfaction. In non-optimal light situations it gives its best. It is certainly an excellent companion in adventure. I recommend it
Cons:Autofocus not very ready, not for marcro, for that the manual is a must
Opinion:I have had this fantastic lens for a long time that I also use for portrait, at f2.8 very sharp in the center, fantastic from f4.0 onwards. On FF it has an extra gear, even if I have used it for years on aps-c and I preferred the 160mm for insect macros because it is less intrusive. Highly recommended, in my opinion it is and remains among the best lenses churned out by Canon mom.
Pros:Lightweight, excellent sharpness and color rendering, AF discreet as responsiveness.
Cons:Nothing
Opinion:The dual personality of macros has always fascinated me. Bought used at a very affordable price, I immediately put it to the test and I must say that its yield even in portraits is excellent and particular. Lightweight with R adapter ring, it makes good with all selectors, from infinity to macro. One of those glasses that rejuvenates with the R system, having already been excellent on DSLRs.
Pros:Sharpness to sell, very light, excellent stabilization, variety of use.
Cons:If I have to be honest, not even the price becomes a counter to the "value" that it possesses
Opinion:Taken more on a whim than out of necessity, I found a good dealer offer (No RCE, fortunately) and I brought it together. What can I say, I mounted it, I tried it, I put the files to PC and I was really surprised. Needless to talk about the sharpness, which for this kind of Macro lenses is expected to be remarkable, I was most surprised by the paste of colors and the gradualness with which it fades into the blurred, what to say, beautiful. Since as an optics it is born with autofocus and stabilized (which for a pure Macro lens would be totally useless since the use of the tripod is a must) it makes it clear that it can be used in other contexts such as, for example, the portrait ... To put it under test I mounted it on the camera (1dx mk 2) and I kept it as the ONLY optics during the holiday in Sardinia this summer where, 90% of the shots, were made from the beach to the children who dived from the rocks. I knew that the situation would be that so 100mm of draft were fine to "reach" them but what I did not expect is the incredible quality of the files! Very sharp, incisive to the maximum, the whole frame very clean, stratospheric colors, made on the reflections of the water and backlight with silhouettes from the edges to border on magic, even opening the files to PC and zooming up to the pixels you do not see halos of any kind even in the areas of strongest contrast, not a smudge. What can I say, one of the best photographic surprises I've had. I'm using it for many jobs, many of them in the video field (AF very quiet, IS a little less). I would buy it again tomorrow.
Pros:Sharpness, colors, AF speed, excellent stabilization
Cons:Nothing
Opinion:After having had two specimens of the excellent canon 100mm macro usm (bought the first and subsequently sold for momentary little use, I then felt the lack and bought the second, then also sold in search of something different), I wanted to try the L and IS version of Canon that did nothing but confirm what good has been said about this lens. I often use it for portraits, an area in which the stabilizer gives a good help, but unlike what I thought even in macro applications, thanks to the hybrid stabilizer (so defined by Canon) it manages to make a good contribution during freehand shots. Plastic construction but resistant and reactive and very precise autofocus. The only one is the prohibitive cost for the original collar of the tripod, otherwise a must.
