Filter size: 67 mm, Closest Focusing Distance: 0.99 feet.

    Great macro, tack-sharp, and can double as a portrait lens
    5 Stars
    Great macro, tack-sharp, and can double as a portrait lens
    I'm writing this review as a hobbyist rather than professional photographer (that is, that sells photographs for a living). In my opinion, I would say this lens deserves a spot in your kit if you're looking to jump into the world of macro, but would also like the lens to do double duty for other types of shooting you do. As a relatively new photographer, I have primarily shooting portraits at social get-togethers. I found the Canon 135mm f/2.0L to be the cream-of-the-crop, but had two slight drawbacks - it was a bit long indoors depending on location and without IS (image stabilization) it was tough to get focused shots at such a long focal length. The general rule of 1/focal length meant shooting at 1/160, which can be tough in low light to get a properly exposed picture.The 100mm nicely fit with a shorter focal length and Canon's new Hybrid-IS system. The IS system is audible in more quiet environments, but is by no means loud enough to get in the way of taking your pictures. The IS also enables you to handhold shots indoors, which was great for me to take pictures in the evening or night time where indoor lighting is poor. I found the 100mm to still be an excellent portrait lens - nice and sharp, although I would still choose my 135mm if I had enough room and enough light. Other reviews show the 100mm to be sharp even wide-open on a full-frame (and a drool-worthy MTF chart to go along with it). It's nice to know it's there when you need it, although I find that in most of my portrait shots, the corners are part of a blurred background.And for the bread-and-better of macro, I found the 100mm is a great focal length that allows you to get close to the tiny subjects you'd like to photograph. Although the IS does help with handholding shots, I found it's be less helpful on the macro end. As a new macro photographer, I also was surprised at how narrow the DOF was at the macro scale. Shooting at f/2.8 means part of an ant's head may be in-focus, but parts of its antennae might be out-of-focus. Shooting at more narrow apertures help expand the DOF, but that also means having to compensate with better lighting or a longer shutter. For the latter, the IS does help, but I'd imagine would be even better just to shoot with a tripod (which I've yet to purchase and try out). However, shooting slightly larger subjects, like flowers, is definitely in this lens' sweet spot even handheld. I've posted some examples in the sample images.Overall, a great lens to start experimenting with macro, and that also does double-duty as a great portrait lens with IS that helps with lower light conditions. If you don't need the IS or the L designation, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras can be had for just similar image quality (from what I've read online) for about half the price, which may be a better starting point.
