1st choice lens for video and photography

This is a great lens - extremely sharp for macro photography. I toyed with the idea of buying the cheaper (non-L) version and also buying a Canon ring flash but I'm glad that I opted for this lens instead. The image stabilisation is really useful if you want to try to shoot handheld and you can get extremely cheap ring flashes that work really well.You can couple this lens to an extender if you also mount an extension tube between the camera body and lens. The cheapest canon extension tube is fine. This combination can increase the magnification for macro to greater than life size (on the sensor).I picked this up at a promotional price when there was also a cash-back offer from Canon, so it was ridiculously cheap. Definitely pays to watch out for offers, both from Amazon and also from Canon.

It's on Black Friday deals 2017 at 799, but I purchased this lens full price from new (Amazon) a few months ago for £685. So the deal price is £114 more than the normal price? Don't buy it - wait for a better price.Token review: it's a great lens, I'm on my second copy in 10 years, wouldn't swap it for the world. Great for portraits, good in the studio, and wonderful for chasing pieces of dust or bugs if that's your thing. As for me, this is a no-brainer for weddings and product photography.

Used for taking shots of bugs, especially timid ones where I need a bit more reach on the lens without having to be a few inches away from the subject. Autofocus is blisteringly fast and made even better with the fact you can adjust the focal range with a switch on the side of the lens. Image quality - even on a cropped sensor camera is stunning. In my opinion, definitely worth the price, feels good, takes great shots and can feel the quality. Comes with a lens hood which can be turned around and stored on the lens when not in use (at the trade off with been able to use manual focus).All in all, incredibly happy with it although now after getting my first 'L' series lens - I want to upgrade all of my other lenses to 'L' too...best get saving.

This is a fantastic lens. Pin sharp with a smooth and creamy bokeh. The IS system is very effective but you will still need a tripod if you are focusing down to 1:1 or thereabouts. Use the focus limiters as you will find it tends to hunt quite a lot if you are not in the right range. The biggest thing you need to know about this lens it to make sure the IS system has stopped running and is "parked" before you remove it from the lens. I have not done this a couple of times in haste and it leaves the inner element in a free state, rather than being locked safely in place, rattling around inside the body, which can be a bit scary initially and could cause damage over time if not addressed. However, the two times I have had this happen, it has not caused any damage whatsoever and the lens is still in perfect condition and functionality. Well worth every penny of the price. It is a bargain in my mind and is rarely off my camera. I also use it as a general walk-about lens for landscapes and portraits etc. However, it is, as I said, pin sharp and can show up details that you might not want to see! ;-)

Ho comprato questa lente ormai due anni fa, montandola su una Canon 80D (crop sensor), ora la sto utilizzando su una Sony A7III con adattatore.Dopo un intenso utilizzo posso dire che è una delle migliori lenti che abbia mai utilizzato, Canon non si smentisce.COSTRUZIONE E DESIGN:La lente si presenta molto elegantemente, la plastica che la compone è molto solida, la ghiera è molto ampia e precisa (dopo due anni di utilizzo è ancora solida e integra), i vari switch (ne sono presenti 3: AF-MF, Stabilizzatore acceso/spento, range di messa a fuoco FULL/0.3m-0.5m/0.5m-infinito) sono ben fatti e ben riconoscibili al tatto. Appena tolto l'obiettivo dalla confezione balza all'occhio l'elemento frontale in vetro, una chicca per gli occhi. Quello che aiuta a rendere l'obiettivo di qualità è sicuramente il mount Canon EF in metallo.UTILIZZO:L'obiettivo presenta uno stabilizzatore interno, fondamentale per la fotografia macro in mancanza di treppiede, che funziona egregiamente. Il motore di messa a fuoco USM è silenzioso e preciso, garantendo vibrazioni minime. Infine il diaframma a 9 lamelle con apertura massima di f/2.8 rende questo obiettivo estremamente luminoso e dotato di un bokeh molto gradevole.La qualità delle immagini scattate è quello che ci si aspetta da una lente della serie L Canon: nitidezza impressionante, aberrazioni cromatiche praticamente inesistenti anche a massima apertura e vignettatura assente. La focale fissa garantisce qualità e luminosità per un prezzo tutto sommato contenuto, ma ovviamente può essere limitante rispetto ad uno zoom.In conclusione reputo questa lente un'aggiunta consigliatissima a chiunque si voglia approcciare al mondo della fotografia Macro, ma anche come lente da ritratto, e ricerchi la qualità nello scatto.
