Fur ball Portrait with EF 100 macro USM test shots

Jeff · 23rd May 2004

Apart from the normal insects/flora shots, the EF 100 macro does good portraits, on animals that is.

What I like:

1) Handheld possible at low shutter of 1/30s at close range
2) Light weight
3) Good built
4) Fast AF and deliver tack sharp images out of cam

What I dislike:

1) None at the moment.

Samples:

"You just want to cuddle this fur ball"

Lighting was quite bad for these shots. ISO was at 800 with shutter around 1/30 to 1/60s at F5.0 w/o flash. Handheld.

Nice pictures. The first one looks as though he just came out of the taxidermist's? There's some lint on his fur

I have it and love it too

It also works fine with a Kenko Pro 300 1.4x tele.
