Lens Description:
If you shoot with a Canon EF-mount body and need a short telephoto lens from 2009, the Canon EF 100mm F/2.8L Macro IS USM is worth considering. The multi-element design (15 elements in 12 groups) is a well-regarded optical formula, complemented by a wide f/2.8 maximum aperture and a 9-blade iris for smooth bokeh. It accepts 67mm screw-in filters and tips the scales at 625g. I have personally used and tested this lens.
