This lens review was about to happen right? First it was the lower budget Canon 100mm f2.8 and now it’s time to review the high-end L-version of Canon. And after testing this lens I truly had trouble bringing it back to my partner Camex, who make my gear reviews possible.
This isn’t a lens which pops up in your mind when doing street photography, because it’s a macro lens. However the macro function can be very convenient, because you can shoot up close and gives you great details.

I shot with it and it’s great ….yeah also a bit expensive and chunky. This lens delivers good portrait shots and makes it possible to really capture fashionable details like fabrics, logos and designs. The downside of this lens is the fact that you won’t be able to stay candid and maybe even scar people off.
Nevertheless this lens is one nice addition to my wishlist. Want to try this lens yourself? Visit Camex in Arnhem or their camex.nl.
