Product Description

The Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM is a compact, fast short-telephoto prime crafted for full-frame EF-mount cameras, making it a superb choice for portrait, event, and indoor work. Introduced in 1991, it offers a bright f/2 maximum aperture for excellent low-light performance and beautiful background separation. The lens employs an 8-element, 6-group optical design with Super Spectra coatings to reduce flare and ghosting while producing sharp, contrast-rich images. Autofocus is driven by a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), delivering swift, quiet operation with full-time manual override. Lightweight at approximately 460 grams and featuring a 58mm filter thread, this lens remains widely praised for its optical quality, build, and value.
