Macro lens with image stabilizer that sets new standards in performance and versatility.
The EF 100 mm 1:2.8L IS USM is part of Canon's professional L-Series and is one of the first lenses with an image stabilizer that detects horizontal and vertical camera movements, making it ideal for shooting from close range.
Highlights:
- Powerful macro lens of the professional Canon L-Series
- Hybrid image stabilizer for up to four stops longer shutter speeds
- Image reproduction up to 1:1 scale
- UD lens
- Dust and moisture repellent sealing
- Switch for limiting the setting range with three positions
- Circular aperture with nine blades for effective bokeh effect
- Ring-USM autofocus motor
Hybrid image stabilizer:
The new image stabilizer is optimized for use in a macro lens. In addition to detecting changes in the angle of view and compensating for them, the lens also corrects shifts. This allows for longer shutter speeds: up to two stops at 1x magnification, up to three stops at 0.5x magnification, and up to four stops at normal shooting.
Ultra-low dispersion (UD) lens for excellent image quality:
The integration of a UD lens effectively eliminates chromatic aberrations and is largely responsible for outstanding image quality with high resolution, pronounced contrast, and excellent color reproduction.
Attractive reproduction in blurred areas due to circular aperture with nine blades:
The circular aperture provides an attractive, uniform background blur for shots with wide apertures, ideal for capturing subjects that need to stand out from the background.
Fast and quiet autofocus:
The Ring-USM (ultrasonic motor) ensures fast and almost silent autofocus. Manual focusing can be performed at any time without turning off the AF function. The lens has a close-up adjustment limit of approximately 0.3 m.
