This is a follow-up to my 2015 review. This lens still continues to blow me away in full frame format. It has to be one of Canon's most underrated lenses. It excels in all possible ways. My prior review primarily focused on landscape photography at smaller apertures.

The optical construction is made of 8 elements in 6 groups without any special elements (which aren't really common in this lens class anyway). The lens features 8 aperture blades. The filter size is 58mm.

Excellent optics. Light weight. Great portrait lens. I use it for travel because it is light and compact. Beats a heavy telephoto zoom.

I picked this lens up from Amazon used for $250. The focus on it is fast and mostly accurate and it allows you to get good pictures in many situations. Only issue I've noticed with the lens is that there's a moderate anount of chromatic abbretion when using it in sunny weather at a larger aperture.

I will not say anything that is already known about this lens. The Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM Lens is a very sharp, the 100 f/2 to be sharp at f/2, corner sharpness is good as well. The AF motor is silent and is super-fast and quiet. Very good bokeh!

I bought this lens not knowing what to expect. It was my first prime lens which I got myself and for some reason, I picked this 100mm over the nifty fifty. When I finally received it, it was a really good lens. But when I kept using it over the months, I realized that this was a great lens.

This compact medium telephoto lens sports a fast f/2 aperture, which will make this lens ideal for low light photography or creative use of shallow depth of field. It sports a silent ultrasonic focusing motor, internal focusing and costs around ￡380.

Good build quality; Very good sharpness; Low CA levels; Fast AF

Quite prone to flare; No lens hood supplied

If you're looking for a canon portrait lens, but don't want to go to the extent of the L series, but don't want to compromise, then the Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM is for you. Offering stellar performance at a brilliant price point, this 100mm won't let you down.

Приобрела этот объектив по акции Кэнон, что позволило сэкономить 6 тыс. руб. Пользуюсь уже полгода, очень довольна: цепкий фокус даже на полностью открытой дырке, отличное боке и стаб. Единственное: через несколько месяцев стала иногда греметь задняя линза (люфт или вибрация).

Beautiful, un-assuming compact lens, great where flash is not allowed, and for indoor/shaded sports. Fantastic colour rendition, razor sharp for portraits - is it possible to be too sharp

Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus
