Best Macro Lens - Canon EF 100mm f 2.8L IS

There are a lot of Macro lenses on the market. There are two things you should pay attention to when selecting a macro lens.

First is the focal length. For most Macro shots, you want to get pretty close to the subject. 100mm is usually the perfect focal length. If you want a more all-around lens, the 50mm macro is a better option.

Second, you want to look for IS. If you do video work with your Macro lens, image stabilization is critical.

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS is the perfect combo for Canon users and works very well with adapters for Sony and other cameras as well.

Very useful video. I was just about to buy the "other " lens without image stabilization, however after watching I got the red banded lens and am very happy with the results.

I'm keen on food photography for my restaurants. But I do like to do some video production as well. Is it recommended?
