desmond_kidman Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 <p>I see that this new lens is in stock. Has anyone tried it? Has anyone compared it to the older non-IS 100? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innerglowphoto Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 <p>Martin Bailey did a great review of this lens and comparing it to the older version. It's also on his podcast. Check it out. <a href="http://martinbaileyphotography.com/">http://martinbaileyphotography.com/</a> or the direct link to his blog can be found at blog.martinbaileyphotography.com<br> Hope this helps.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbkissel Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 <p>Desmond, I have both and the image quality is as good (and I think better) with the 100 IS. However, I'm using it on my 7D, so I'm not sure I can give you a fair comparison since I haven't tried it on my other bodies where I've been using the 100 non-IS. The better IQ may just be a function of the 18 Mp of the 7D. The IS truly works well for handheld shots. Wide open my copy is still razor sharp. I have to use a macro frequently for work, so the IS is a blessing for me.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmond_kidman Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 <p>Thanks for the responses, and for your first hand experience, Mark. I'll order one. I will then post my findings, though I don't have the non-L lens, only the TSE-90 and Zeiss Makro-Planar in this range. I will post my comparisons to those 2. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felix_mizioznikov Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 <p>bought it and returned it. Wish i did not sell my old 100mm non-is macro. The pic quality is not any better and is pretty bad when shooting it wide open. The build quality is cheaper than the previous. The IS works well when shooting at a distance but imho useless for macro. The body slightly flexes when squeezed at various spots. you will never be able to tell the difference in picture quality between either lens. <br> I'd recommend the mpe 65 if you really want macro but theres a bit of a learning curve to use the 65. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidi1 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 <p>I have the 100mm macro and absolutely love it. Most of my work on my website is done with this lens and whilst it might take a bit getting used to I would highly recommend it. Enjoy</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
