Canon Macros 180mm F/3.5L Lens I am an above average photographer- not a pro mind you. I own a Canon 100mml macro and a 100mm Zeiss macro in addition to the one I just bought. The Canon 180mm L is super sharp and allows me more working distance from my subjects making it easier to adjust the lighting the way I want it. In my opinion the images are crisper and the color rendition is better than with the Canon 100mm macro that I own. The lens is heavy, but I use it on a tripod so it doesn't affect what I do. If I were to carry the lens on my camera it would not be comfortable. I imagine that most users would want to use this lens on a tripod set up for added stability. I would definitely buy this lens again. I use it on my Canon 7d and 5d III. Art
In two words: "Exceptionally useful." The images are sharp from infinity to 1:1 and the 180mm focal length allows the user to have a good working distance. The tripod foot makes leveling the lens a breeze.
This lens is built like a tank!! This lens is built like a tank and being a metal body, I found it to be lighter than I expected. I use it mainly for macro and having a bit more working distance from my subject is a bonus for me over the 100mm I used previously. I thought I would miss the extra stop of the 100 f/2.8 but it hasnt been a problem at all. It is incredibly sharp and just feels good in my hands. This might be my new favorite lens!
