subject: Macro Lens Review - Canon Macro 100mm Review [print this page] Would-be Canon EOS lens buyers have a selection of genuinely excellent lenses to choose from. This Canon Macro 100mm Review is for individuals who are in a position to decide on a Canon Macro lens.
Taking a terrific macro image has the potential to change your photography destiny. It is a thrill like no other. Macro photos can take charge of your time and intentions.
The delight often comes when seeing your pictures and finding little "treasures" that are hidden in the image that you never spotted until they were seen on the display screen. You can actually see the subject much better than if you are looking closely without a camera.
Each of those prime 100mm macro lenses from Canon enjoy exceptionally high user ratings. These ratings are seen on the Amazon and B & H Photo websites. Not one user rates either of the 100mm macro lenses below a 4 with most rating it at 5.
First is the Canon EF 100mm Macro USM Lens.
Canon engineering for the Canon Macro lenses is exceptional, as shown by the following lens capabilities
Image Quality - The key feature for any camera or lens is the Image Quality, and this lens produces top of the line images that are sharp and crisp.
USM (ultra sonic motor) assists in super fast focusing
Super wide aperture at f/2.8. A wide aperture allows more light to strike the sensor, making it less difficult to get photos in low light situations.
Image Stabilization (IS) allows the photographer to hand hold the camera even when light is low. It helps avoid camera shake.
100mm macro lenses double as great portrait lenses. The Canon 100mm Macro does an excellent job at this, as well as typical imagery, and many photographers use this lens as their main lens..
This is a major point - the Canon 100mm macro can be used on ALL Canon EOS cameras, including full frame and entry-level models
With this lens as a an outstanding starting point, Canon recently added an improved 100mm macro lens to its selection. The newer model has all the superb features of the original, with some additional quality improvements. The most current lens is, in fact, an "L" model. This is Canon's naming for its finest quality lenses. The added glass quality and components for building the lens raise the price about 40%, but just having an L lens in the bag is the best thing that can happen to a Canon owner.
It must be noted here that there is a modest group of photographers who think that the only way to get quality images on a consistent basis must use only prime glass. That may not be the case for everybody, but it is surely agreed upon that prime lenses can be made with better quality than zoom lenses. And the Canon 100mm macro definitely fits the bill for prime with top quality output.
Taking close-up photos with your Canon Macro 100mm lens can pump some new excitement into your photography experience.
