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

1:1 Magnification for True Macro Photography

• The lens offers a true 1:1 magnification, enabling you to capture life-size images of small subjects. This is a crucial feature for macro photography, allowing you to photograph insects, flowers, textures, and other tiny details in their natural size and sharpness.

2. L-Series Build Quality

• As part of Canon’s renowned L-series, the lens is built with a professional-grade, durable construction. It features weather-sealing to resist dust and moisture, making it suitable for use in harsh environments, whether you’re shooting outdoors or in unpredictable conditions.

3. Optical Image Stabilization (IS)

• The built-in Image Stabilization helps reduce the effects of camera shake, especially when shooting at high magnifications or slower shutter speeds. It’s particularly helpful for handheld macro photography, ensuring clearer, sharper images without the need for a tripod in many situations.

4. Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for Fast and Quiet Autofocus

• The Ultrasonic Motor (USM) ensures fast, precise, and quiet autofocus, which is important for both macro work and video shooting. The autofocus system allows for smooth transitions between subjects without disturbing the scene, making it great for capturing detailed close-ups or shooting quietly in nature.

5. Advanced Optical Design

• The lens incorporates a sophisticated optical design that includes one UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) element, which reduces chromatic aberrations and ensures sharp, high-contrast images. The lens also delivers excellent color reproduction and clarity even when shooting wide open at f/2.8.

6. Rounded 9-Blade Aperture for Smooth Bokeh

• The nine-blade rounded aperture contributes to beautiful, smooth background blur (bokeh), which is ideal for portraiture and subject isolation. The creamy bokeh enhances your subject’s presence and helps create a pleasing, natural look in out-of-focus areas.

7. Minimum Focusing Distance of 0.99 ft (30 cm)

• With a minimum focusing distance of just 30 cm, the lens is capable of capturing incredible close-up details. It allows you to get up close to your subject, making it perfect for photographing small objects like insects, flowers, or textures with exceptional clarity
