Designed primarily for close-up shooting, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L is a versatile L-series short telephoto prime that is also suitable for portraiture and other mid-range subjects. As a macro lens, however, this 100mm offers a life-size, 1:1 maximum magnification and an brilliantly close 30cm minimum focusing distance.
An Image Stabiliser is featured that minimises camera shake at full 1:1 magnification, and also helps greatly to produce sharper handheld shooting.
