![]() Since I didn’t set up a tripod for this there were some very minor variations frame to frame. The images I shot showed pretty consistently right around 33 to 34mm across the frame. I have a Canon 5D full frame whose width is 36.71mm (accounting for unused borders on the sensor). I read a nice article about this in which the author (Erez Marom) showed an image of a ruler taken at the minimum focal distance and compared that on his lens. And, of course, the farther the camera (ie the focal plane of the sensor) is from the scene the smaller it will be on the sensor, so using the minimum focal distance provides a standard method for the measurement. A smaller sensor simply crops part of the image compared to what happens with a larger sensor. And the sensor size does not affect the optical characteristics of the lens. ![]() The ratio is simply a comparison of the size of the image projected by the lens onto the sensor (or film) to the size of the real life scene in front of the lens at the minimum focal distance of the lens. It’s prompted me to look up answers to some of the questions I’ve had about this for a long time.įirst the size of the sensor is irrelevant to the final answer it just has to be used in the calculation of the ratio. Rugged construction: The lens is sealed against moisture and dust, so you can shoot in all kinds of weather. The focus system is internal, so the barrel doesn't extend during focusing.ġ00mm versatility: In addition to being a full-fledged macro lens, the focal length is also ideal for portrait photography. Focus range limiting provides three distance ranges for greater focus control and to reduce focus time. The 100mm Macro's Ultrasonic focus Motor (USM) is quick, quiet and fast, with a manual override even in AF mode. While the lens is optimized for use on a full-frame Canon DSLR such as the Canon 6D, it will also work on APS-sensor models such as the Canon EOS 7D.Ĥ-stop image stabilization: Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization works with a vibration gyro and acceleration sensor to compensate for angular and shift type camera shake.įine focus: With a macro lens and its attendant narrow depth of field, focus accuracy is of primary importance. True macro: Focusing is 1:1 magnification, with a minimum working distance of 12 inches, for lifesize reproduction. ![]() With ultra-low dispersion lens elements and more, the lens is designed for professional photography as well as for demanding photo enthusiasts. A true macro lens with 1:1 magnification when used with a full-frame Canon DSLR, this lens is durably built, and utilizes the latest developments in optical construction for high-quality images, whether you're shooting flowers or faces. The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens is Canon's first tele macro photography lens to offer image stabilization. Hope this helps answer some questions! View full Review The MP-E also needs to be no further than a few inches away from the subject matter in most cases. If you are trying to decide between the two, keep in mind that the MP-E is designed to shoot subject matter as large as a US Dime (1x) and as small as a grain of rice (5x). I use this lens and the MP-E 65 mm f/2.8 1-5x almost exclusively. Make sure you read the manual and set it appropriately. The images are sharper when the IS is turned on. operly when used vertically on a copy stand. The lens is versatile as well able to stand in as a portrait lens in a pinch. We are talking fractions of a millimeter. Very shallow depth of field even at small apertures (ex. Objects as small as a Quarter (dollar will fill the frame. It can focus on an object less than a foot away. View full Reviewįor those seeking a lens to help them capture images of objects as small as a dime, this is the lens for you! Here are a few bullet points: It's the perfect focal length for portraits too, seriously, whatta lens. ![]() Oh, the Macro part! Almost forgot! Obvously the Macro is an awesome feature and I use it for details shots at weddings, and because of that IS, no tripod needed. It keeps all stray light off the lens and makes for amazing contrast. It also comes with an EXCELLENT lens hood (not sure why the Canon site pushes it as an optional accessory), and I use that hood everywhere, even indoors. llows a certain freedom and is basically a blast to shoot with. I've owned the non IS version which is a great lens, and I do own the 70-200mm/2.8 IS II which obviously can hit this focal length, but the lightweight 10omm with the Hybrid IS a. And for the price, this could be Canon's best value-per-dollar lens. WOW, not only is it amazing for still shots, but for VIDEO! It's like having a gyro or Stead圜am. Tack sharp wide open (amazing for portraits), superb resolving power even on a 5D Mark III, and the Hybrid IS. ![]()
