Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens
The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM is a legendary L-series prime that sets the standard for both professional macro photography and portraiture. Combining a life-size 1:1 magnification ratio with sophisticated Hybrid Image Stabilization, this lens allows photographers to capture intricate details with handheld precision. Its razor-sharp optics and versatile short-telephoto reach make it an essential tool for everything from nature and product photography to high-end studio portraits.

True 1:1 Macro Performance
Life-Size Magnification: Experience a 1:1 reproduction ratio, allowing you to capture subjects at their actual size on the sensor.

Close-Focusing Excellence: A minimum focusing distance of just 11.8 inches lets you get incredibly close to small subjects while maintaining a comfortable working distance.

Focus Limiter Switch: To ensure the fastest possible performance, you can constrain the autofocus range to three settings: 11.8″–1.6′, 1.6’–infinity, or the full range.

Hybrid Image Stabilization & Optics
Advanced Shake Reduction: The Optical Image Stabilizer is specially tuned for close-up work, offering up to 2 stops of correction at 1:1 magnification and up to 4 stops at normal shooting distances.

L-Series Clarity: One Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) element significantly reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing. Combined with Super Spectra coatings, this lens delivers high-contrast imagery with exceptional color neutrality.

Ring-Type USM: The Ultrasonic Motor provides nearly silent, lightning-fast autofocus with full-time manual override, giving you total control over the focal plane without switching modes.

Built for Professional Use
Weather-Sealed Design: As part of the elite L-series, the lens is fully sealed against dust and moisture, making it a reliable partner for outdoor macro excursions in unpredictable weather.

Flattering Portraits: The 100mm focal length (160mm equivalent on APS-C) combined with a rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces a silky, soft bokeh that is highly sought after for portrait work.

Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of professional use, the lens remains balanced and comfortable for all-day shooting.
