Rent NowThe Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM is a short-telephoto macro prime lens engineered for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs (providing a 160mm equivalent focal length when mounted on APS-C bodies). Designed for true close-up photography, it delivers a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification with a 1-foot minimum focusing distance, while also functioning as an effective portrait and product lens. Its optical construction includes an Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) element and Super Spectra coating to control chromatic aberrations, flare, and ghosting. Equipped with a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) and an internal three-group floating focus mechanism, it offers fast, silent autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override.
