Made for shooting close-up and personal, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro Prime Lens is a powerful short telephoto prime lens with the highest quality optics available, combined with near-silent Ultrasonic focusing and life-size close-up capabilities. Additionally, this lens is also well-suited for portraiture and other mid-range subjects. This glass was also one of the first lenses to incorporate Canon's new Hybrid Image Stabilization Technology, effectively compensating for both angular and shift camera shake, allowing you to photograph and film subjects free from camera-wobble-blur worries. Also of note: the lens features a Super Spectra coating which suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity.
