I bought this lens mostly for portraiture but I've just turned in the most amazingly sharp pictures of Dragonflies hatching I think I've ever seen. No credit to me I'd add (ok...just a bit of credit then). I did consider the non-IS, non-L series version, but having moved up to a 5d MkII recently I thought I'd push the boat out and stick to the real McCoy. Am I glad I did? no question. This lens is so sharp. Believe me. It comes with a caveat though...if you're prepared to work hard at depth of field issues (this lens exploits limited DOF) and be really accurate with focussing, you'll reap the benefits. If you're lazy though...save a few quid and buy the other one. Razor sharp throughout (but I'd keep away from the smaller apertures), this superb lens will not disappoint, and it will add a new dimension to "creative" use of DOF. My only criticism is that it's not quite as chunky as some other L series lenses. If you're used to the "hewn from solid metal" feel of the usual ones you'll be a bit disappointed when you remove it from the packaging, but maybe all that weight isn't necessary? maybe Canon have realised that it's not needed. Is the IS useful? for an extra couple of stops of course it is, but that shouldn't be the reason you've chosen this lens...that will be because it's got the red ring around the barrel. Sell the car, send the wife out to work, do whatever you need to if you really NEED this lens. But don't hesitate. Just shop around.

This is a superb macro lens that makes wonderful images thanks to the image stabilizer.
The images are sharp and the lens has internal focusing so is harder to scare away small animals , that gives you fast focusing as well.
Is well build and it feels very well balanced on my canon 400d.
It is priced at the higher end of the market and that is because of the IS.
There is 40% difference between Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lensand this lens in terms of quality of image in low light conditions.
