Lens Canon EF 100mm f / 2.8L Macro IS USM

Fixed focal length lens with excellent macro photography capabilities
The EF 100mm f / 2.8L Macro IS USM offers a real 1: 1 macro magnification ratio, which means the subject is projected in real size onto your camera's sensor. This versatile lens delivers great portraits and video without a tripod thanks to the ability to achieve shallow depth of field with beautiful bokeh effects combined with a built-in hybrid image stabilization and lightweight construction.

Cutting macro shots
Most Canon lenses have Image Stabilizer (IS), which compensates for camera shake when shooting without a tripod, and this lens features a revolutionary hybrid image stabilization system to counteract normal angular rotation and lateral displacement - more pronounced when shooting very close.
Image shown for "ON." demonstrates the use of the hybrid image stabilizer, and "OFF." shows the image without using a stabilizer.
Shift and sway
The sideways shake-up occurs when the camera's sensor is parallel to the scene - much more pronounced in the close-up. Macrophotography usually requires a stable tripod, but the new hybrid image stabilizer compensates for camera shake (angular and vertical plane). This gives you more flexibility to prevent blurring of the image due to camera shake and to track your subject if it moves or changes its position, which guarantees sharp images when shooting macro objects.

When even the slightest noise can ruin a perfectly prepared frame, the superb speed and quiet autofocus of the USM engine combined with a focal length of 100 mm guarantee the best results, and sufficient distance allows you to not scare the subject. Use the built-in focus-limiting switch to further accelerate autofocus by limiting focus within a specific range.
Quality of the L Series
Like all L-series lenses, the EF 100mm f / 2.8L Macro IS USM is made of the highest quality materials and is weatherproof to be sturdy enough to shoot in all conditions.
This lens is a great choice for portraits thanks to the UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) lens element that eliminates chromatic aberration and the exclusive 9-element bokeh and f / 2.8 aperture.
The combination of hybrid IS, f / 2.8 aperture, and fast USM autofocus make this lens unique and effective - popular for those who sometimes take macro shots as well as those who want to specialize in the field.

Universal lens for great portraits
A great dual-use complement to your photographic kit, the EF 100mm f / 2.8L Macro IS USM is a high quality portrait photography lens that lets you get close to the subject while maintaining extremely sharp image quality.
Beautiful portraits in crystal detail
The EF 100mm f / 2.8L Macro IS USM is everything you would expect from a fixed focal length lens. Its excellent optical qualities and superb image detail are great when you want to focus on the features of the face in portraits.
The perfect perspective
The 100mm focal length is ideal for portraits, delivering close-up shots without distorting facial features. The Hybrid Image Stabilizer lets you shoot beautiful stills without a tripod in low light.
Do not be distracted by the details
The f / 2.8 aperture allows shallow depth of field to be achieved, giving the impression of distance. This helps to separate the object from the background and focus your gaze on the detail you want.
