Pros The lens delivers some amazing looking photos
Cons I do miss the image stabilization functionality.
Bottom Line The EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens delivers some pin sharp photos at a very nice price. It's not an L-series lens, but it should be!

Pros Minimum distance (310mm), fast optics, great sharpness, good for portrait and Macro
Cons No environmental seals, no IS, relatively long
Bottom Line Sharp pictures, good price and good speed, but not quite "pro" grade build nor the fastest portrait lens.
