Product Description
Despite the large maximum aperture, the lens remains compact. Lens group 5 moves for rear focusing, and sharp, crisp pictures are obtained at all apertures. The background blur is ideal for portraits. The USM autofocuses the lens quickly and quietly.

 one of my favorites November 20, 2008

I love this lens. I bought it basically because it is the longest focal length with a really large aperture under $500 ($925 for the 135 f2 and $4800 for the 200 f2). It focuses quick and is razor sharp, even wide open (I find I shoot with it 95% of the time at f2.0). On my crop sensor 40D it acts as a short telephoto and allows me to capture great action and tight portraits with perfectly blurred backgrounds.
My one and only complaint is the lens hood attachment is not the best design. Definitely not large enough an issue to deduct a star.
small, sharp, great portrait lens September 24, 2008

I prefer this fast lens to the 85 1.8 - it simply produces a better portrait in my opinion. Lovely, small, light....the perfect little lens without going to an L. Highly recommend; I use as a back-up and always have it in my camera bag. Love it.
Great prime from Canon August 19, 2008
Much has been said on this classic lens. My copy is spot on from the box. AF is silent and fast. I use this for children indoor head shots. 50mm doesn't give me enough room to work with and it makes my subject self-conscious...
Only the hood is of secondary quality, feels cheap and the snap-on feels unreliable. My hood on the 50f1.4 is way better, and cheaper as well.
 Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM Telephoto Lens March 27, 2008
We're very happy with this lens. It produces sharp images at higher shutter speeds due to its wide aperture. You typically lose two or three stops with zoom lenses in the same price range. This is a good lens for medium telephoto applications.

As an "intermediate" level photographer, I have to say that this is one of my favorite lenses. I get sharp photos every time I use it and can take shots in fairly low light. I carry this lens, as well as my 50mm 1.8, everywhere with me.
It's a heavy duty metal construction with quality glass in a single focal length. I get a ton of use out of it for "distance portraiture" when I don't know the subject and don't want to invade their personal space.
This is a favorite.
