A focus range limiting function offers three distance ranges to control the range in which the AF looks for focus, thus reducing focusing time. An ultrasonic focus motor (USM) provides quick and quiet auto-focusing and full-time manual focus override enables precise manual focus eve in AF mode. The lens features Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization with up to 4-stops of shake control for effective low light capture and with the vibration gyro and acceleration sensor it compensates for both angular and shift camera shake during close-up shooting. Its 100mm focal length is effective for portraiture and other telephoto applications and as a macro lens with 1:1 magnification and a 12″ minimum focus distance, it is ideal for life-size close-up imaging. As an L-series lens it offers the utmost in optical construction, including ultra-low dispersion lens elements and moisture and dustproof seal structure on the barrel. The lens offers a minimum focusing distance of 0.3m.The EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens from Canon is the L-series version of Canon’s popular 100mm Macro lens. Full time mechanical manual focus override is available without having to switch out of AF. The ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor) drives extremely rapid autofocus with near-silent operation. With limits for close up subjects, distant subjects and all other subjects, the user is able to increase the autofocus speed making quick shots possible.īeautiful background blur with 9 blade circular apertureĪ circular blade aperture helps to create attractive, even background bokeh when isolating subjects at wide apertures. To enhance the photographer’s use of the lens, it is fitted with a 3 position focus limiter switch. This allows for excellent image quality with high resolution, high contrast and excellent colour reproduction. Ultra low dispersion (UD) lens element ensures high image qualityĪ UD element within the lens design effectively removes chromatic aberration. This provides 2-stops of correction during 1.0x magnification, increasing to 3-stops at 0.5x magnification and 4-stops during normal shooting. It is able to correct lens shift movement as well as the angular movement that most IS systems can correct. The new image stabiliser is designed specifically for inclusion in a macro lens. L-series lenses combine superior performance with superlative handling, and are resistant to dust and moisture. The L-series is Canon's flagship professional lens range represents the best in precision-designed EF optics. Macro lens with image stabiliser setting new standards for performance. 9 blade circular aperture for beautiful bokeh.The EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM is part of Canon’s prestigious L series, and features an Image Stabiliser with angle and shift detection that is highly effective at close focusing distances. Needless to say it’s our most popular macro lens in Canon EF mount.' Fine gearing of the focus ring assists precise manual focus adjustments and its autofocus behavior is fast and silent. Sharpness is very good wide-open at f/2.8 and gets even better when it’s stopped down to f/5.6. At conventional shooting distances its image stabilisation provides 4 stops of correction for handshake, which reduces to 2-stops at 1:1 reproduction. 'The 1:1 macro reproduction and 30cm minimum close-focus distance makes this lens ideal for everyday close-ups and places a comfortable distance between the lens and the subject that’s being photographed.
