I bought this lens as a "Photography pack, it came with a canon camera remote and a lens cleaning pen.. I use it often amazing results, clarity is excellent, smooth noiseless auto focus.. you could just about catch a bacteria on a gnats bum with this beauty..

The lens features a true IF ( internal focus ) design so the front element does not rotate and the length of the lens remains constant regardless of the chosen focus distance. Typical for ring-type USM lenses full-time manual override is always possible in one-shot AF mode.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional photographer. I currently use this with a photo box for my jewelry photography and it does an amazing job. Sure, a 100mm Canon lens would likely give me better still photography, but unfortunately I need to do larger shots and videos in a short amount of time.

I'm so glad I got this lens. Its great for portraits and of course macro photography is wonderful with this lens. The back ground blur is so pretty with this lens. It hasn't left my camera since I purchased it 2 weeks ago. no IS, but i dont find it's an issue with handheld photo's.

A thoroughly modern design that's optimized for select Canon EOS digital SLRs. Its angle of view is equivalent to a 96mm lens on a 35mm camera, with a floating optical system that can focus down to full life-size (1:1) magnification.

Whenever I'm shooting some small dish like an appetizer or a dessert, I'd end up having to frame way wider than I'd like and I'd have to...

Only problem with this lens is focus breathing. It is sharp across the frame with virtually no chromatic aberation. Obviously it can only be used with aps-c sensors where it is good for portrait and product shots.

John Lewis matched the price I found somewhere else and was ready to coll ct the next day, couple this with a two year guarantee and it was a no brainier. The lens feels solid and well built, the results are superb, you need to remember though that when photographing at close differences the...

Great combo macro / portrait lens. Stop it down just a little and it's a gem. Several of the images I made with this lens have been made into popular landscape prints, posters, canvases. I'll get a surprise when I'm in a strange place walking down a hallway and see one of my images.

Great image quality from 3.5 on; excellent AF on any body from the 40D on

A little soft wide open

Been looking around for a while macro lenes i found this one it does every thing that you want it to do
