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

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens features ultra low dispersion (UD) lenses that correct colour aberration for high resolution, high contrast images, with the addition of Super Spectra coating, which effectively reduces ghosting and flare for superior image quality. Beautiful bokeh is the setting for your subjects, which stand out perfectly as a result of the nine-blade circular aperture. The silent, high speed ring type USM Autofocus motor quickly achieves focus, whilst the three position focus limiter tailors the focus system range to the desired subject.

Sitting within the L-series of Canon lenses, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens features dust and water resistant seals. Sitting ahead of the EF 100mm f/2.8L USM Macro, the new lens supports a full range of accessories including the Tripod Mount D, Macro Lite adapter 67, Lens Hood ET-73 and EF12 II and EF25 II extension tubes. The tripod mount can be attached to the lens without the need for an adapter, enabling quick portrait or landscape switching without having to reframe the camera. The MR-14EX and MT-24EX speedlites can be attached using the MacroLite adapter.

This lens includes a dedicated lens hood and is compatible with an optional Canon tripod collar and Canon Macro Ring Lite.

Tele-Macro Focal Length

The convenient 100mm focal length of the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens allows for a comfortable shooting distance between the camera and subject, and less chance of shadow interference when shooting at closer focusing ranges.

Life-Size Image Reproduction

The lens allows for continuous focusing down to 1:1 life-size magnification. Optional extension tubes can increase this ratio for even greater magnification.

L-Series Optical Quality

As a Canon L-series optic, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens can be counted among the sharpest, best-built, weatherproof optics available for Canon EOS SLR cameras.

Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization

With the vibration gyro and acceleration sensor, the hybrid image stabilization system is effective for close-up shots. With a 4-stop compensation the IS enables blur-free images when shooting telephoto in low light and when working close-up in macro mode.

Quick and Quiet Focusing

By incorporating an ultrasonic focus motor, Canon has improved the speed and reduced the noise levels of the lens's autofocus system, while still allowing for full-time manual override.

Focus Range Limiter

Focusing distance range can be selected with a switch on the lens barrel. By setting a suitable focusing distance range, actual autofocus time can be shortened. The three focusing ranges are 1-1.6', 1.6'-infinity and the full range of 1' to infinity.
