I have the Canon 100mm f1.8 without the IS and L designations. I love the lens and feel that I don't need the IS and L features at all, since the lens is generally used either indoors or in good weather, making the extra weatherproofing unnecessary. Also, I shoot a lot of macro shots for small items that I sell on eBay and I have no problem holding the lens still, which makes the IS feature unnecessary also. Yea, it might be nice, but I can spend the savings on another cool lens.
I agree! You need to do a comparison of these two lens for portrait/head shot use. Many photographers are using the macro lenses for this purpose. It would have been a great feature in the video.
Nice review ! However, i just found a very good question in comments : how about portrait ? Well at first i got the non-L version and just upgraded recently. Both are just awesome for portrait and like he said in the video, differences are subtle. But once you got your hands on the L one, it just feels great ! Also, IS is very handy when you don't want to carry any flash. One thing i could not afford with the non-L version. You got the money : pick the L ! Else, try the other anyway cause it's
Have this camera and this lens - good to know I can rely on the weatherproofing (grin) and that the lens was worth the extra $ to ME as macro is my forte. Love to see more lens comparisons that balance the details of differences so I can decide which ones to spend the $ on and which ones are not details I need to buy up.
Gahh.. As much as this vid shows alot of comparisons, i still cant decide whether to get the L or not. I do handheld photog 95% of the time, but im not sure if the IS really makes THAT much of a diff to justify the extra cost. Anyone able to help out on this?
@BartholomewYeo Hi, in answer to your question, if your are doing handheld IS is definitely worth it, especially as when shooting macro you loose an extra stop of light, requiring lower shutter speeds. The L lens is also fabulously well made from engineering plastic (which is far better quality than normal plastic). So yeah if you can afford it, go for the L version
@jledarby Hi there! I see, nice! That's just what i needed to know, that the IS is really worth the extra cost of 30% (at my country). Much appreciated. Thanks! ;)
@BartholomewYeo I have the some problem. I really want the L lens but can't justify the extra cost. The main feature I would be paying for is build quality. IS & rounded 9-blade diaphragm are a plus. The L also look a lot nicer. At almost double the price, this is a very hard decision to make.
@m505xl Haha i wouldn't pay so much more just for the build and looks.. Unless you're gonna be frequently exposing this lens to harsh environments. For me, I'm in for the IS and slightly better bokeh balls ;D
@mervie17 of course it could, the FOVCF doesnt make any dfference. its only when you mount an EF-S on a full frame (like the 5DmkII) you get some problems
Great review... thank you! I've had a couple of fashion shoots in light rain and like to have IS at low shutter speed sunset shots... so that's the price difference I have to consider: weather sealing and IS. =)
more l vs non l !!! i was lucky cause i want to buy the 100mm but i will go for the non l ! difference is to small for me !! then i spend some mony for a replacement for my 18-55 kit lens !
I must go L on putting an L lens out there in motorsport the comparison was so much better test was 70-200 f4 is l lens it was pin sharp and ate the 55-200 for breakfast. Its 10x the price almost too but worth it!
No.. I wouldn't wet it. Maybe I'm just a careless person but I do allow myself to take photos in light drizzle with my 600D. If there's not enough to start running down my camera bu stays in little water droplets on the surface then I deem it safe. You can choose to do this or not at your own discretion =)
L = slightly, but noticeably sharper maybe... but more than noticeably more expensive!...the L series has enjoyed a more than deserved position as the best money can buy...in all reality they're the best if u have money to WASTE!....For the small improvements its not worth the HUGE price increase........the Bokeh is an over rated feature..who really cares if the balls are not 100% spherical?...i doubt most people would even bother...and would be too much interested in the IN FOCUS subject!..
My 50mm 1.8 just broke. I can't decide between the canon 28mm 1.8, the sigma 30mm, or the canon 50mm 1.4.. I am looking for a new prime lens and around 400 bucks. Any ideas? Ill be shooting with a Canon 60D. I need some advice
@aassggkk Are you using it for street photography, portrait, or filming? I like the Sigma for its smooth bokeh and focal length (close to 50mm on FF). Perfect for street photography and casual shooting. The 50mm f1.4 has great bokeh but is more a portrait lens, and you won't get many indoor group shots due to long focal length
Subscribed. I bought the L version based on impulse, glad to see that it was at least on someone's opinion worth something. Although, with my level of skill and expertise and actual requirements for this kind of photography, it was a bit of a waste.
Love to see more L vs. Non-L. Also maybe more third party lenses vs. non-third party lenses. Such as canon 50mm f1.4 vs. Sigma 50mm f1.4. Love that episode.
I would love to see some more L VS Non L. Maybe, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II VS Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L. I know they are not in the same league but they atleast have the same size.
Looking forward for more epic videos in the future.
this was hardly a good comparison. for starters the 100mm non l was replaced by the l series. secondly the HIS is not included in all l series lenses. thirdly a lot of l lenses have metal bodies like my 180mm macro. you need to find two canon lenses of same or similar applications and focal length where the l series does not superceed the other. in some cases with l lenses you will get amazingly good quality but not in all.
do u ever have problems where the L lens will not focus at all one something but letting go and repressing the shutter halfway will make it work? i just got my 100mm L today and im not sure if its having problems
can we see a Canon 100-400L vs. 400L prime? or 2X II vs. 2X III? cool video! ...... even though i will make it a point to keep my L out of rain - and away from people with water bottles!
I was interested in the macro L lens because it should be much sharper image shots than the non L but from this review it definately is not $500 worth of sharpness which would be the reason for me buying it. rather disappointing to say the least .
But what is the idea of buying a fixed lens? Is it better than a zoom? I love the black one with the red cirkel on it, but that's only because it looks cool. If it can't zoom it doesn't matter. What would I use it for? :-/
@TheeMusicPlayer Fixed lenses work well in very low light situations while most zoom lenses work poorly in low light. Fixed lenses are better for taking portraits because it gives a very shallow depth of field and creates nice smooth bokeh in the backdrop of your model. If you only tend to shoot landscapes and nature stick with your zoom lenses. If interested in low light and portraits try a fixed lens...range from 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4, and even the 105 2.8 are good.
MisterBokeh has already given most of the information base on your question. well the fixed lens (prime lens) is not necessary better than the zoom. In most case the prime lens is shaper and faster focus compare to any zoom lens. you can use your prime lens for basically anything. from portrait, landscape, party or macro if you are using the macro prime lens. prime lenses come from a wide range, from very wide to super long range. you just need to pick one that is good for u.
sorry ran out of space, and about you were saying that you like the one has a "red ring" the Canon lenses that has a red ring on are called Canon L lens. which with high quality built, weather sealing (dust and water proof) with better result and detail in photo. of course with all this goodies the price is more expensive compare to the non L lens. Usually the L lens is cost somewhere around $800 to $2000 US dollar., prices are depends on the model.
No, can't zoom! The lens that can't zoom is called prime lens, which mean the focal length is fixed. the 100mm macro lens here is one of them. what you see through the view finder is what it is, you need to step in or out if you need to zoom ;)
can u provide AF accuracy test for 5d mark II vs 1Ds mark III (centre AF point & outer AF point) for both static subject (portrait) & moving object please.. Thanks

But what is the idea of buying a fixed lens? Is it better than a zoom? I love the black one with the red cirkel on it, but that's only because it looks cool. If it can't zoom it doesn't matter. What would I use it for? :-/
Btw. Thanks for answering. ;-)

@TheeMusicPlayer Fixed lenses work well in very low light situations while most zoom lenses work poorly in low light. Fixed lenses are better for taking portraits because it gives a very shallow depth of field and creates nice smooth bokeh in the backdrop of your model. If you only tend to shoot landscapes and nature stick with your zoom lenses. If interested in low light and portraits try a fixed lens...range from 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4, and even the 105 2.8 are good.

MisterBokeh has already given most of the information base on your question. well the fixed lens (prime lens) is not necessary better than the zoom. In most case the prime lens is shaper and faster focus compare to any zoom lens. you can use your prime lens for basically anything. from portrait, landscape, party or macro if you are using the macro prime lens. prime lenses come from a wide range, from very wide to super long range. you just need to pick one that is good for u.

sorry ran out of space, and about you were saying that you like the one has a "red ring" the Canon lenses that has a red ring on are called Canon L lens. which with high quality built, weather sealing (dust and water proof) with better result and detail in photo. of course with all this goodies the price is more expensive compare to the non L lens. Usually the L lens is cost somewhere around $800 to $2000 US dollar., prices are depends on the model.

I don't get it. Those lenses does not have the ability to zoom, or what?

@TheeMusicPlayer
No, can't zoom! The lens that can't zoom is called prime lens, which mean the focal length is fixed. the 100mm macro lens here is one of them. what you see through the view finder is what it is, you need to step in or out if you need to zoom ;)
