the new Canon 100mm f/2.8 L series macro lens
Wow. How cool is this. I’ve been thinking of getting a macro lately. I’m now very glad I waited. Canon has announced a new lens in the form of an EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM. They haven’t dropped the old 100mm macro, just upped the ante (and the price) with this new one. It’s going to retail at over $1000 US, so who knows how much it’ll cost here.
Of course, there’s a lot of excitement about the upcoming 7D and potentially a new flash system to rival Nikon’s CLS system, but I’m slowly collecting good glass and letting the body upgrades go past me a few years at a time before I jump. I’m still running the original 5D and will probably wait for the 5D MK III before I jump again. But this lens, I won’t wait very long for at all. Just think – an L series quality f/2.8 macro lens with IS. That would be a very nice addition to my kit indeed.
