Lens purpose and audience

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens is a mid-telephoto prime designed for 1:1 macro reproduction and general close-up work. It suits photographers who need life-size magnification on Canon EOS SLR bodies and want a bright f/2.8 aperture for subject isolation. The 67mm filter thread accepts standard accessories without step-up rings.

Sustained shooting behaviour

Inner focusing keeps the barrel length constant so balance does not shift during extended sessions. The ring-type USM drives focus quickly and quietly while full-time manual override remains available at all times. A three-position focus limiter lets you restrict travel to the range needed for the current subject distance.

Thermals noise and power

Optical construction uses 15 elements in 12 groups including one ultra-low dispersion element to control aberrations during prolonged use. Super Spectra Coating reduces flare and ghosting when shooting toward bright light sources. Image Stabilisation corrects camera shake by up to four stops, lowering the need for high ISO settings.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 100 mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro generate during all-day shooting?

The lens has no active cooling and draws no power of its own, so it adds negligible heat to the camera body during extended use.

What must I already own to mount and use the EF 100 mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro?

A Canon EOS camera with an EF mount and a 67 mm filter thread if you plan to attach filters.

Will the 100 mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro focus correctly on an older EOS body that lacks Hybrid IS?

Yes, the built-in Image Stabilization and USM focus motor operate independently, so autofocus and stabilization work on any EF-mount body.
