Great seller. Fast shipping fair price.
If you can afford this lens you will not be disappointed. First of all, it is a fantastic 100mm prime that takes great shots. Super sharp and great contrast and at f2.8 it is pretty fast. The Macro function lets you get about 6 inches from your subject with great magnification. Sometimes the AF hunts at this distance. By turning off AF you can get even closer but you have to manually focus (no biggie) I have used this with 31cm extension tubes with great results. I have also used a Kenko 1.4 TC on it with great results. Looking this lens up on line, I found it to be on the Canon top 20 lens list. Which is saying a lot. It is the only non "L" lens to make this list. I do mostly nature photography, but i hear this lens is also great for portraits. Definitely worth the price. Get one, you will use it alot. I also buoght a Bower ring flash to use with it which I highly recommend.

Good price and fast shipping.
Turns practically any lens into a macro lens. At ultra close distances DOF is minimal and focus is extremely critical. Great product from Canon as usual. Use with an extension tube for super close ups.
