Canon’s 100mm f/2.8 L Series macro lens was first released in 2009, but let’s take a closer look at how this lens holds up and performs for video and photos. Overall this is an outstanding lens, and while it works very well at f2.8, I’ve been getting the best results between f4 and f6.
There’s also a little bit of weirdness with the stabilizer and rolling shutter, but it’s very manageable and doesn’t affect still photos. Otherwise this is an awesome lens to add to your lineup, and remember, it’s always a smart idea to consider renting camera gear before diving in and making a big financial commitment.

@emergenthub305 Месяц назад

Regarding the stabilizer rattling when you shake the lens, I heard a tip from a photographer advising people to turn the stabilizer off, on their Canon 70-200mm lens, when the camera is on, before storage and transportation, because it locks the mechanism in place, and protects it from damage. Your lens is probably rattling because the stabilizer was left on before the camera was turned off and the lens removed.

@marilynzanca7712 Месяц назад

Hi, I don't have that close up with my canon 100mm f2.8.cant work that one out and I have ised the 3 different switches on the lense. Do you have any clues.

@lifesbeautiful3024 3 года назад

Great job, Tom. I love this lens myself! The EF 100 macro non L lens is great also, but lacks IS, although it’s about a hundred dollars cheaper

@tombuck 3 года назад

I've never used the non-L version, but I figure the price difference is so minor, it's worth it to go for the red ring.

@oo0Spyder0oo 3 года назад

Your body Eos R’s stabilisation will help on the video side, the older IS on this lens isn’t too great on non IS bodies though.

@MakeTechPtyLtd 3 года назад

LOL Big Macro! well done haha

@tombuck 3 года назад

Thank you, thank you

@monkeywizard77 Год назад

The 11 inch minimum focusing distance is measured to the sensor of the camera, not to the lens... which lets you get even closer! Curious to hear your thoughts on the 100mm Macro RF canon lens & it's Spherical Aberration dial.. I have not yet had the chance to play with it too much, but It seems like it might have some fun applications.

@rafiquemuzhaffar5340 3 года назад

Hey Tom, thanks for another awesome video! I own the lense too and figured out the rattle sound from the lense is the IS. You have to switch it off before you switch off the camera. That should stop it, I figured it out after a year of owning it

@tombuck 3 года назад

Perfect! I figured it was the IS, but I couldn't figure out how to stop it. This makes sense.

@rafiquemuzhaffar5340 3 года назад

@@tombuck yeah, you mentioned you figured it was the IS. I hope it works for your lense. Thank you again for teaching us so much on RU-vid. I learnt a lot from you

@PhillipRPeck 3 года назад

Love your videos. And your podcast. I wanted to point out (because I'm that guy) that when measuring minimum focusing distance, it's measured from the sensor and not the front of the lens.

@RafickBottse 3 года назад

I have the same lens I've noticed when the aputure is at 2.8 and removed the lens from the camera you'll hear the shaking of the stabilizer more then when it is at F10 above

@tombuck 3 года назад

Oooh, how interesting. I need to experiment more.

@tfechtenburg 3 года назад

The rattle is most likely because you remove the lens when the camera is still on. Always turn off the camera before changing lenses, otherwise the lens is not locked into position. That also explains why the issue is not consistent 😀 Most lenses are mist sharp 2 stops above wides aperture. That also align with your experiences 😀 Love my 100mm 2.8 L Macro ❤️

@tombuck 3 года назад

@RockyMaiviaMiami 3 года назад

With My 85 1.4 you have to turn off IS before detaching the lens. No shake . However when I forget, it shakes like crazy.

@tombuck 3 года назад

Good to know!

@RockyMaiviaMiami 3 года назад

Tom Buck no idea if that’s a thing or not. Does it work for you ?🤷

@PhillipRPeck 3 года назад

Does the shaking stop once the lens is powered via the camera?

@tombuck 3 года назад

It's tough to say for sure, but it does seems like when the IS first becomes active is when it really kicks in.

@PhillipRPeck 3 года назад

You can keep spinning the ring, but the focus will stop when it reaches the limit.

If your doing any video work and using this lens on a tripod, you should turn off your IS. You won’t see that “wobble”.

@MSladekPhoto 3 года назад

"BIG MAC-ro" for the win! Comes with special sauce for beautiful images and video. Bwaaahaaaahaaa! Good points about "tiers" of lenses and being aware of your own use-case needs. Bonus tip for LensRentals.com - if you like the lens, they have a "keeper" option to purchase most of their rentable gear at used prices after rental period.

@tombuck 3 года назад

The Keeper option is always very tempting. If the prices were just a LITTLE lower I’d definitely be in big trouble.

How bizarre! They wrote an article about tilt shift lenses last year and included a link to my video, which was super cool. I’ve used StudioBinder videos in my classes and stuff before, but it’s strange to see a random clip from an older video of mine (they did put a little credit in the corner) 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for the heads up!

@TheMrdoc26 3 года назад

Dang I paid to much. Pic of coin with a chip error or cracks in it. After the pic taken the chip is not focused. Not clear at max zoom. What am I doing wrong. F4 100 then use the light meter to get the light. With flash and light no flash qith light. I must be doing something wrong

@tombuck 3 года назад

Hmm, it's possible that you have a defective copy. If so, Canon's warranty should cover it. I will say that mine is sharpest around f5 or so.
