I use mine for portraits more than I use it for macro. It is a really nice multipurpose lens.

Yup, I do the same ... It's one of my favourite lenses :)

I think it's a great lens for portraits.

The more I think, I want to keep it after realizing the fact that this lens can do macro + portraits in a nifty little package. The bokeh is creamy wide open and 4 stop hybrid IS is amazing. I can get sharp shots at 1/30. The only other logical move would be to get 135L.

I sold 100f2, was not impressed with colors at all. Saving for 100L.

I use my 100L for all kinds of shooting. e.g. it is a good single lens to take to the park with my small kids - the colour and contrast are good, it focusses fast enough to keep up with the kids, it is long enough for tight shots, and I can take a shot of any flowers or insects that I find.


Cheers, Damien

It's a fun little lens! Also used it at some shows this past weekend to get some shots of the drummer at the back of the stage. Great lens!!
