Dedicated macro lens for Canon EF mount systems with full frame sensors. Refers to long-focus — the focal length is 100 mm — while providing a magnification of 1 at a minimum focus distance of 31 cm. Also worth noting is the 8-blade aperture, which provides soft background blur, and the ultrasonic autofocus drive.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Canon 100mm f/2.8 EF USM Macro lens is highly regarded for its monolithic design and fast autofocus, making it a reliable choice for macro photography. It features internal focusing and a minimum focus distance of 32 cm, allowing for detailed close-ups and beautiful bokeh. While it lacks image stabilization, some users find this advantageous, as stabilizers can cause shake if the camera is held firmly. The lens is noted for being affordable yet delivering image quality that nearly matches Canon's L series lenses, making it a versatile option for both macro and portrait photography. However, it is slightly heavy and has a diffraction limit at a 1:1 scale, which can be challenging. Overall, it is considered one of the best macro lenses, though the 100 L version offers superior image quality.

great model, love it

All macro lenses are optically decent, there's no point in writing about it, but very few have such a fast AF and monolithic construction. Generally, for field macro, it's better to have light or get the L IS. Essentially, it's the same, just without weather sealing and stabilization. The lens is fast, reliable, and works well.

For macro, it is one of the best, although the 100 L is better because of its image quality, a good portrait lens.

Internal focusing, 32 cm min distance, affordable, yet nearly matches L lenses in image quality, allows for decent portraits thanks to 2.8 aperture and natural macro clarity with beautiful bokeh. The absence of IS is actually a plus, as stabilizers often cause shake if you hold the camera firmly. If you have tremors, consider getting an L lens or a tripod with a cable release, which is even better.
A bit heavy, diff limit at a scale of 1:1 at 7.1 (sad. Pulls up to 16 with a struggle.
