Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM
Facts
brilliant all round lens
estimated retail price 930 EUR
in my use from 11/2011 to current date
currently the most used and the most useful lens in my bag
Pros
very pleasing image quality
instead of being just a macro lens works as well as a general-purpose lens
-
IS works well and helps indoors
auto focus hit accuracy is the best I've seen with any lens
very lightweight for a Canon L series lens
Cons
is exaggeratedly sharp on details: you might need to soften the photos to make them look more realistic
appears to be mostly plastic which used to be unheard of in Canon L series
would be even nicer if the maximum aperture was f/2.0 (yes I'm asking too much)
