The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM is a gateway to a world unseen by the naked eye, offering true life-size (1:1) magnification. As a member of Canon’s prestigious L-series, it delivers the highest standards of optical performance, with exceptional sharpness, contrast, and color accuracy. This lens is not just for macro enthusiasts; its medium telephoto focal length and bright f/2.8 aperture make it a phenomenal portrait lens, producing a flattering perspective and beautiful background blur.
What sets this lens apart is its groundbreaking Hybrid Image Stabilization system, which effectively compensates for both the standard angular shake and the lateral shift shake that becomes pronounced during close-up shooting. This ensures remarkably steady images when shooting handheld macro subjects. The ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) provides fast, quiet, and precise autofocus, while the robust, weather-sealed construction ensures reliability in challenging conditions.
