Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM may not be the company's top of the line macro lens, but it does capture sharp images with 1:1 magnification.

Sharp images. 1:1 magnification. Inexpensive.

Prone to color fringing. Lens hood not included. No image stabilization.

Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM vs Tamron 90mm Macro Lens

This exercise has surprised me somewhat in that I knew the Tamron lens was considered pretty good, but I did expect the Canon model to be significantly better. In this test at least, this hasn't proven to be the case.
