I got my macro lens yesterday. I got too anxious so I decided to take test shots out of the box. I hope to get out of the house today so I can practice and get some little creatures out there to scare. LOL! Well, this Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM is kind of heavy so I will try to bring my tripod as well. I hope my shyness will not be a problem carrying around some gadgets that might scare people that are not used to it. Oh well, this hobby is sure going for a leap. Whooah!
The 100mm f/2.8 macro lens will focus over the full range from infinity down to life size (1:1 reproduction ratio). This lens will impress any serious photographer with its combination of versatility, image quality and superb handling. A high-performance ring type Ultrasonic Motor provides fast and silent AF throughout its focus range, and even more significantly, allows full-time manual focusing permitting the close-up or macro shooter to instantly override the AF whenever necessary.
