Canon's newest "L" series lens is its
first mid-telephoto macro lens to include Canon's sophisticated Image
Stabilization. With the highest quality optics available, combined with
near-silent Ultrasonic focusing and life-size close-up capabilities
without an adapter, the EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM is simply
unrivalled.
This is the first lens on the market to incorporate Canon's new
Hybrid Image Stabilization Technology. Hybrid IS effectively compensates
for both angular and shift camera shake during close-up shooting. The
lens was developed to expand users' photographing range and allow a
wider range of users to easily enjoy macro photography.
