  • The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM L IS macro is a very fine lens and a welcome new option in the market. The resolution is generally very high although the border quality could be a little better at large aperture settings. Typical for macro lenses distort...

  • The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM L IS macro has a comparatively easy play in the APS-C arena. The center to corner resolution is very high up to f/11 and even f/16 is a perfectly usable setting here. Typical for macro lenses distortions are a non-issue. V...

  • Abstract:  The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro Lens review is planned. I dont regularly include Canons theoretical MTF charts in the reviews, but this one is drool-worthy. This lens promises to be extremely sharp wide open. ...

  • Abstract:  The EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens could very well be the essential multipurpose lens for every camera bag due to its ability to capture sharp close-up images of small objects as well as beautiful portrait-length telephoto shots. The incorporation of..

  Published: 2010-01-01, Author: Margaret , review by: photoreview.com.au

  • Abstract:  Back in July 2009, Canon announced a new 'hybrid' image stabilisation system designed for macro photography. Able to compensate for both the standard angular movement and the small shifts in the angle at which the lens is pointed during hand-held shoot...

  • For macro work and professional product photography, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro is about as good as it gets. But even that's selling this phenomenal piece of glass short. Top-shelf build quality, excellent sharpness, and image stabilization make t...

  • New Hybrid IS system, Distance window is well positioned, Weatherresistant, Control over distortion is superb,
  • Focusing in lower light is slower than rivals, Softness at edges is disappointing, Chromatic aberrations a slight problem
  • The CanonEF 100mm F2.8 L Macro IS USM is a reasonably priced lens with sometimes excellent sharpness, an effective image stabilisation system and near-perfect control over distortion. It has all the features you could realistically want for a macro len...

  • As well as a generous aperture range that stretches from a fast f/2.8 down to a small f/32, the lens has internal focusing, so the barrel doesn’t extend at shorter focus settings. This is great news in a macro lens, as you can get very close to subject...

  Published: 2016-07-21, Author: Arthur , review by: focus-numerique.fr

  • Qualité de construction, Finitions, design, Prise en main, Stabilisation optique, Qualité optique générale, Piqué élevé au centre dès f/2,8, Pas de distorsions, Pas d'aberrations chromatiques
  • Performances de la stabilisation optique, Manque d'homogénéité du piqué entre le centre et les bords des images aux plus grandes ouvertures, Vignetage visible jusqu'à f/4
  • Impossible de ne pas recommander cet objectif qui se présente comme un "must have" dans toute besace de photographe. Il ne faut pas sous-estimer la polyvalence d'un objectif macro de ce type. Outre ses possibilités évidentes en photo très rapprochée de fa...

  • Abstract:  Sie sind die idealen Werkzeuge für kreative Köpfe und Naturliebhaber: Mit Makro-Objektiven können Sie bis auf wenige Zentimeter ans Motiv herangehen. Damit gelingen formatfüllende Aufnahmen von Blumen, Insekten oder auch ganz gewöhnlichen Gegenständen. De...
