Primarily designed for close-up shooting, the EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM from Canon is a versatile L-series short telephoto prime that is also well-suited for portraiture and other mid-range subjects. As a macro lens, however, this 100mm offers a life-size, 1:1 maximum magnification and an 11.8" minimum focusing distance.
• An image Stabilizer is featured that minimizes camera shake by two stops at full 1:1 magnification, or up to four stops at lower magnifications for sharper handheld shooting.
• A ring-type USM and internal focusing design offers quick, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override.
• one ultra-low dispersion element is featured, to control color fringing and chromatic aberrations
• a Super Spectra coating has been applied to suppress flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity.
Please note:
1) This is another lens that we purchased several years ago but have not used. It really is like new.
2) We also have an extension lens that is available separately (please see ad) and it also has never been used.
