Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS macro reviewed

In October I reported that the brand-new EF 100/2.8L I was testing was badly “off” optically, showing an obvious asymmetric blur. I documented this in my DAP review with a comparison.

A second brand-new sample arrived about 10 days ago, and I have now largely finished my review in DAP, adding several new pages include examples. The second 100/2.8L sample was a huge improvement over the first, but not free of issues, which I document. Direct link for subscribers.

I’ve included a comparison to the original Canon EF 100/2.8 macro. There’s simply no question that the new design is a huge step forward. You can get the 100/2.8L for about $1049 .
