Autofocus lens for macro photography up to life-size (1x) magnification. Inner focusing affords a long working distance of 5.9in. (149mm) at 1x. A 3-group floating system results in excellent delineation at all focusing distances. Ring USM for silent and high-speed AF, and full-time manual focusing also provided.

Entirely new optically, with a three-group floating system for exceptional close-up performance.
The first lens in its class to feature innner focusing. The lens length never changes, even at life size!
A secondary diaphragm blocks stray light at f/2.8, increasing contrast when shooting wide-open.
Ultrasonic Motor provides outstanding AF speed at all focusing distances.
Wide manual focusing ring with smooth action, and full-time manual focus even in AF mode.

"I purchased this lens chiefly for macro photography, and it performs admirably for this purpose. It has a large enough maximum aperture that you can sharply image butterflies or other insects by utilizing a fast shutter speed. I haven't yet encountered a problem with inadequate exposure, but admittedly, I don't try to take insect pictures at dusk, either. I considered getting the 60 mm Canon macro lens instea..."

High Class, but in this range, not necessarily the best available

"Having been a user of various Macro/Micro lenses over many years as a Professional, I can fairly state that although this still does rank among the best available in the 50-100mm range, I feel that it is no longer the best option available to Canon Macro enthusiasts.

"This is one fabulous lens, deserving the “hidden-L” designation, although there is no UD glass inside. This lens scores very high on objective bench tests for several reasons including:

– zero distortion regardless of the size of CMOS.

– no vignetting on “C” size cameras, moderate vignetting wide …" Read Full Review »

"This is an excellent macro lens. Optically, the lens parallels that to of an L-series lens. A nice feature with this lens is the ability to take other photographs other than just macro. Some macro lens will only allow for only macro use. I have been using this lens for a while now, and I continu …" Read Full Review »
