Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens is a versatile short telephoto prime lens designed primarily for close-up shooting. It is also well-suited for portraiture and other mid-range subjects. With a life-size, 1:1 maximum magnification and a minimum focusing distance of 11.8 inches, it delivers impressive macro capabilities.

To enhance close-up shooting, the lens features an Image Stabilizer that minimizes camera shake by two stops at full 1:1 magnification and up to four stops at lower magnifications, allowing for sharper handheld shots. The ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) and internal focusing design ensure fast, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance, with the option for full-time manual focus override for precise control.

Optically, the lens incorporates one ultra-low dispersion element to effectively control color fringing and chromatic aberrations. The Super Spectra coating reduces flare and ghosting, resulting in improved contrast and color accuracy. Being an L-series lens, it is also weather-sealed, providing durability and protection in challenging weather conditions.
