Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens

 

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens

The EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens from Canon is the L-series version of Canon's popular 100mm Macro lens. As an L-series lens it offers the utmost in optical construction, including ultra-low dispersion lens elements and moisture and dustproof seal structure on the barrel. Its 100mm focal length is effective for portraiture and other telephoto applications and as a macro lens with 1:1 magnification and a 12" minimum focus distance, it is ideal for life-size close-up imaging.

The lens features Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization with up to 4-stops of shake control for effective low light capture and with the vibration gyro and acceleration sensor it compensates for both angular and shift camera shake during close-up shooting. An ultrasonic focus motor (USM) provides quick and quiet auto-focusing and full-time manual focus override enables precise manual focus eve in AF mode. A focus range limiting function offers three distance ranges to control the range in which the AF looks for focus, thus reducing focusing time. Internal focus system means that the barrel does not extend when focusing, which is crucial when shooting macro.

This lens includes a dedicated lens hood and is compatible with an optional Canon tripod collar and Canon Macro Ring Lite.

Tele-Macro Focal Length

The convenient 100mm focal length of the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens allows for a comfortable shooting distance between the camera and subject, and less chance of shadow interference when shooting at closer focusing ranges.

Life-Size Image Reproduction

The lens allows for continuous focusing down to 1:1 life-size magnification. Optional extension tubes can increase this ratio for even greater magnification.

L-Series Optical Quality

As a Canon L-series optic, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens can be counted among the sharpest, best-built, weatherproof optics available for Canon EOS SLR cameras.

Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization

With the vibration gyro and acceleration sensor, the hybrid image stabilization system is effective for close-up shots. With a 4-stop compensation the IS enables blur-free images when shooting telephoto in low light and when working close-up in macro mode.

Quick and Quiet Focusing

By incorporating an ultrasonic focus motor, Canon has improved the speed and reduced the noise levels of the lens's autofocus system, while still allowing for full-time manual override.

Focus Range Limiter

Focusing distance range can be selected with a switch on the lens barrel. By setting a suitable focusing distance range, actual autofocus time can be shortened. The three focusing ranges are 1-1.6', 1.6'-infinity and the full range of 1' to infinity.

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Review

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Review

 

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is a 5.5x telephoto zoom lens designed to complement the 18-55mm kit zoom that comes bundled with many cropped-sensor Nikon digital SLR cameras. Offering a 35mm equivalent focal range of 82.5-450mm, the Nikon 55-300mm VR lens features a built-in auto-focus motor, Vibration Reduction and an iris diaphragm with nine rounded blades for a soft rendering of the out-of-focus areas. The optical formula comprises 17 lens elements arranged in 11 groups, including 2 ED glass elements and one high-refractive-index element. The AF-S Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED

The Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens mounted on a Nikon D7000 body

Weighing in at approximately 580 grams, the AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f4.5-5.6G is fairly lightweight for a 5.5x telezoom lens, and as seen in the photo above, complements the Nikon D7000 well. It may look a little out of proportion on the smaller D5100 or D3100, though.

Alongside the D7000 Build quality is pretty decent for a consumer zoom. Most of the outer parts are plastic – contributing the light weight of the lens –, but the optical elements are made of high-grade glass. The zoom ring is wide and ridged, and zoom creep is not an issue. On our test sample, the zooming action was very smooth, but I've come across a few copies that had somewhat stiffer zoom rings – this is something to watch out for when shopping for this lens.

Zoomed out and zoomed in

Zooming is not internal – as you can see, the front extends considerably upon zooming to 300mm.

In terms of features, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is a bit of a mixed bag. One one hand, it has Vibration Reduction on board – hence the VR abbreviation in the product name –; on the other, it isn't as sophisticated as on some other Nikon lenses. There's an on-off switch on the lens barrel, but there's no choice between active and normal modes. Likewise, the lens has a built-in auto-focus motor that allows AF operation on every Nikon DX camera body, including entry-level offerings like the D3100 or D5100, but – unlike with most other AF-S lenses – focusing is not internal, and manual focusing is not possible when the focus mode selector is set to the 'A' position, as shown above. The lens has no distance scale and no focus limiter, either.

Side of the lens The  AF-S Nikkor 55-300mm lens may have a lot of plastic parts, but the lens mount is, thankfully, made of metal.

Rear of lens, isometric view The lens is not claimed to be weatherproof but there is a rubber seal around the lens mount that should provide basic dust protection.

The 55-300mm VR Nikkor ships with a dedicated plastic hood (HB-57) and a soft case (CL-1020).

This setup also enables the electronic shutter to reach speeds of 1/16000 second and to hit continuous shooting rates of up to 10 fps.

FAST AF System

Benefitting the quickened shooting performance of the Air, a contrast-detection focusing method employs 81 AF areas to quickly and accurately acquire focus. Aptly named, FAST is able to home in on subjects using single-shot with specialized settings for face detection and eye detection.

Full HD 1080p Video Recording

In addition to standard stills shooting, the Air A01 can record full HD 1080p video at up to 30 fps. It will save this directly to the microSD card for later playback. Digital image stabilization is also available to smooth out shaky handheld footage. Additionally, it can record for up to 29 minutes at a time.

Built-In Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity

Allowing you to connect to your smartphone in the best and most convenient manner, the Air A01 features both Wi-Fi and Low Energy Bluetooth connectivity built-in. This allows for the transfer of images and the communication of settings and Live View image between the camera and the phone.
