Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens

After mulling over that busted Canon EF 17-85mm lens, I thought it might be a sign to go buy a new walk-around lens (perhaps an L lens) but I ended up getting a macro lens instead (Canon EF 100mm).

Was having a hard time at first choosing between the 50mm, 60mm and the 100mm macro but for the extra distance the latter provides, I thought it was the best choice.

Besides, once you shift to a full frame camera like the Canon 5D Mark II, you can still use the 100mm. Here are some quick shots I took from our Bohol trip yesterday.

These were taken without a tripod so camera shake was inevitable.

So, it’s true what they say that “getting into macro takes you to a whole new world of photography”.

  1. NICE SHOT indeed. BTW, so there should be some HONDA CITY pic by this lens right?


  2. These are amazing. Imagine this used in porn scenes.


  3. I wish someone would buy my EF85mm f/1.8 USM so that I could buy this macro lens as well. I’ll be willing to sell it! Anyone?

    Porn Scenes? Wild just wild, I love it, nars ako walang bastos sa nars. hahaha


  5. I’m a newbie photographer. i want to own a macro lens.. someday.. i need to save pa.. thanks


  6. Prospective buyers of a macro lens for a Canon EOS system have a great first choice in this 100mm Macro. The extra length over a 50mm macro gives much better working distance (space between lens and subject) in the field, and EOS-compatible lenses by other manufacturers match poorly with accessories and are nowhere near as sharp.
