Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM Lens
High-Speed Short-Telephoto Prime for Flattering Portraiture
The Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM is a sleek, high-speed short-telephoto prime lens celebrated for its flattering compressed perspective and remarkable sharpness. Optimized for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, its bright f/2 maximum aperture provides exceptional depth-of-field control for pristine subject isolation and excels in low-light environments. Individual glass elements feature a Super Spectra coating to combat flare and maintain rich contrast, while a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) ensures rapid, near-silent autofocus tracking. This compact and lightweight prime is an exceptional selection for portrait artists, theater photographers, and candid street shooters. Please note: This lens is supplied without a lens hood.

Key Features & Engineering
Flattering Portrait Perspective: The 100mm focal length provides a gentle telephoto compression that naturally minimizes facial distortion, making it highly flattering for tight headshots and portraiture. When mounted on an APS-C DSLR, it delivers a powerful 160mm equivalent focal length.

Bright f/2 Aperture Speed: A wide f/2 maximum aperture allows for rapid shutter speeds in dim environments, while offering extensive control over shallow depth of field to effortlessly melt away busy backgrounds.

Super Spectra Coating: Applied across individual lens elements to suppress internal reflections, surface flare, and ghosting. This guarantees precise color fidelity, neutral color balance, and crisp image contrast even when shooting in bright or backlit conditions.

Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor (USM): Driven by a professional-grade ring-type USM for instantaneous, highly precise, and whisper-quiet autofocusing. The sophisticated internal mechanism supports full-time manual focus override, allowing you to fine-tune focus by hand at any time.

Rounded 8-Blade Diaphragm: Outfitted with an eight-blade rounded aperture structure that renders smooth, natural out-of-focus background highlights (bokeh) when employing selective focus techniques.
