Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens (Renewed) – Life-Size Macro with IS

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens, renewed and ready for action, blends professional macro performance with a compact mid telephoto reach. Designed for Canon DSLR shooters, this lens helps reveal texture, micro-details, and subject character with a true life-size close-up reach and a bright, versatile focal range.

At 100 mm and a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, you can work from a comfortable distance while creating a shallow depth of field that isolates the subject from the background. This setup is ideal for close-up storytelling, whether you are capturing the delicate lines of a flower petal, the intricate texture of jewelry, or the subtle texture of everyday textures that tell a larger story in a single frame.

Stability and speed are hallmarks of this macro lens. It includes Canon image stabilization to help you shoot handheld in softer light, and a near silent ultrasonic motor for smooth, quick autofocus. The inner focusing system supports full-time manual focus, letting you fine tune focus without re-framing. A compact 67 mm filter diameter keeps your workflow simple and affordable, letting you pair this lens with standard filters you already own.

Optical design details have been crafted to deliver high-quality macro performance. The lens comprises 15 elements in 12 groups and includes a UD element to minimize color fringing and preserve contrast across close-up frames. The 23.4-degree diagonal angle of view gives a natural perspective for close-ups, helping you frame subjects with clarity and balance. It is important to note that this lens does not support extenders, and cannot be used with EF1.4X II/EF2X II teleconverters or close-up lenses, so you will rely on the native 1x maximum magnification at the minimum focusing distance and the lens working distance to optimize your setup.

Ideal uses span nature macro, product photography, and textured surfaces. For flowers, insects, and jewelry, you can capture tactile details and micro patterns with crisp edges and appealing background separation. This renewed unit has been tested to meet performance standards and offers a pro-grade tool for photographers who want reliable macro capability within the Canon ecosystem, ready to integrate into your existing DSLR workflow.
