Hi

Canon EF 100mm F2.8L USM Macro with Hybrid IS
Tuesday, 1 September 2009 04:00 GMT< Previous Next > Pre-IFA 2009:Hot on the heels of Canon's announcement of its Hybrid IS technology comes the first lens to sport this feature, and to no great surprise it's a 100mm F2.8 macro. The Hybrid IS system provides up to 2 stops stabilisation at 1.0x magnification, and up to 4 stops at longer shooting distances. Canon's third EF 100mm F2.8 macro lens is also the first to gain the flagship 'L' designation, and comes with such goodies as ultra-low dispersion glass elements, a nine blade circular aperture and weathersealing. The Canon EF 100mm F2.8L IS USM macro will supplement, rather than replace the existing 100mm F2.8 USM macro..

Hello Ab,

This sounds like a nice chunk of glass. I hear $1045 US on this lens. Have you heard a price?

Best wishes,
Don

Not yet.

But with the Canon 5D mk2

And the extension tubes
