Excellent for macro photography September 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Before making the decision to splash out on the Canon lens for my Canon EOS 400D (Rebel) I spent several months comparing reviews and opinions on various lenses. It came down to a choice between the Canon 100mm, the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro and the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro Lens. Each had its plus points but the general consensus of opinion consistently favoured the canon.
I do not regret my choice. For close-up work the 100mm lens is a considerable improvement over the standard 18-55mm lens, and for macro it is excellent. Best results are achieved when using full manual settings, and I find the lens performs at its best roughly between f8 and f22.
Using the lens as a standard telephoto I am not yet convinced, certainly when using it hand held. It is quite a heavy piece of equipment and I find camera shake a problem, but used with a tripod the results are good. But I am not too worried about this as it was primarily for macro photography that I wanted the lens, and on this basis I do not regret my choice.
 Great value but slow to focus. September 7, 2008

This is a wondferul lens with great sharpness and color. I have owned two over the years and have been very happy with them with the quality of construction and reliability. What makes me even happier is it is a great value since it can be purchased for less than $500 now. The only issue that I have is that due to its age, the lens is somewhat slow to focus compared to my newer lens. I would still recommend this as a great buy, regardless.
If only it were an L lens. I have to hide this one from my friends. September 1, 2008

I like this focal length in a macro, and I like the aperture. I wish the L series macro were not 180mm, because I want a shorter macro. But Canon, those cads, don't make a short Macro in a L Series lens. So I had to buy some plastic. Oh well. It's fine, I guess. But not as sensual as my silky smooth L lenses. As a matter of fact, I am kind of embarrassed by it's lack of a red ring, and plasticky-ness. But it works ok, and someday, I pray Canon will make me a nice L Series, honest to god METAL macro in a shorter focal length. Like 65mm, and f2.5, OK Canon gods?
Fantastic! August 16, 2008

If you are into photography and want to show detail then this is the lens for you. This lens is the best for showing great details in your photos. I photograph nature alot and this lens can even pick up the little white flys. If you want things that small this is the lens. When I photograph people it is awesome with closeup shots in showing how smooth or rough the face and hair are. I think this lens is the best lens Canon could have come out with.
Great Lens August 12, 2008
This lens is amazing! Astonishing sharp and with a very nice bokeh.
Highly recommended!!!
