I bought this used from Veresen, initially nervous about it given the cost of the lens. But, I can confidently say that I couldn’t possibly be happier. The item came very well protected and seller was easy to reach, couldn’t be happier and will most definitely be doing business with again.

Really excellent for not just macro but general shots as well. A sheer joy to use and super sharp

What a lens.The IS helps a lot on this model if you like to wander round the garden (like me) and shoot hand held. Everything is smooth and creamy for macro, and pin sharp if you use it as a general prime lens. Probably one of the most versatile and best quality lens I have used, and I have a few L series lens for my 7D.

This is a great lens – extremely sharp for macro photography. I toyed with the idea of buying the cheaper (non-L) version and also buying a Canon ring flash but I’m glad that I opted for this lens instead. The image stabilisation is really useful if you want to try to shoot handheld and you can get extremely cheap ring flashes that work really well.You can couple this lens to an extender if you also mount an extension tube between the camera body and lens. The cheapest canon extension tube is fine. This combination can increase the magnification for macro to greater than life size (on the sensor).I picked this up at a promotional price when there was also a cash-back offer from Canon, so it was ridiculously cheap. Definitely pays to watch out for offers, both from ClickElectronics and also from Canon.

Please note – some of the reviews here are for the non-L macro lens. Just to be clear, this is for the Canon EF 100mm f2.8L Macro IS USM Lens.This is, quite honestly, a stunning lens – and I write as someone who has several L-series lenses. Image quality is startling – better than my go-to EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM; colour rendition faithful and bright. (Of course, it is a prime lens, but even so.)As a walk-around lens, this has performed well for me as a medium telephoto – making me think about composition and using the “foot-zoom” has been fun. It is very well made and solid in feel without being heavy – as you’d expect from an L-series lens, build quality is excellent.But of course it is the macro performance that is the best feature of this lens. Close focus is excellent, and the (supplied) lens hood allows you to get very close to the subject without worrying about contact with the glass – a real benefit of the 100mm macro lens against those with shorter focal lengths. The aperture of 2.8 is fast enough for hand-held performance in decent light – of course, at this aperture depth of field is VERY narrow: see the picture of the caterpillar for an image captured at f2.8; the burnets were captured at f5.6 – you can see the wider depth of field; the (white and pink) Great Masterwort was taken at f20.In short, this is probably my favourite lens. I’d give 6 stars if I could!

Having had this lens for just over a week now thought I’d upload a review. Beautiful to hold, solid quality build. I’ve coupled this with my 7D and having so much fun haven’t had time to try it on my 40D or 350D (I’m a Canon junkie 🙂 ). The images are beautifully sharp as you’d expect from an “L” lens. No focusing problems whatsoever, a real joy to use. I love flower / macro photography and the bokeh from this lens is gorgeous.This is my 4th “L” lens and is fast becoming a favourite. Highly recommended!

Make sure you read the right reviews

This works fine for connecting your external DVI monitor to a computer with a Display Port slot. There are two potential problems, though. One is that this plugs right into the slot on your computer, so it may block whatever ports or jacks are on either side of the Display Port slot. For example, I have a Lenovo laptop, and it prevents me from using the USB jack right next to the display port, and it makes it almost impossible to use the ethernet jack unless I use a cable with a very small hood on the plug. The other issue is that it seems like with a heavy cable that’s always moving, you’d place a lot of undue strain on the plug in your computer, and maybe the motherboard. I could see problems in the long run there. I eventually went with another plug that’s more of an adapter cable, with a very small plug on either side and a piece of cord between the two, so I don’t run into problems, and don’t block the other ports. But this would work in the short term.

Stunning IQ – my favourite L-series lens.

This is a fantastic lens. Pin sharp with a smooth and creamy bokeh. The IS system is very effective but you will still need a tripod if you are focusing down to 1:1 or thereabouts. Use the focus limiters as you will find it tends to hunt quite a lot if you are not in the right range. The biggest thing you need to know about this lens it to make sure the IS system has stopped running and is “parked” before you remove it from the lens. I have not done this a couple of times in haste and it leaves the inner element in a free state, rather than being locked safely in place, rattling around inside the body, which can be a bit scary initially and could cause damage over time if not addressed. However, the two times I have had this happen, it has not caused any damage whatsoever and the lens is still in perfect condition and functionality. Well worth every penny of the price. It is a bargain in my mind and is rarely off my camera. I also use it as a general walk-about lens for landscapes and portraits etc. However, it is, as I said, pin sharp and can show up details that you might not want to see! 😉
