This is a very good general purpose macro lens. Canon makes two 100mm macro lenses. This one does not have an image stabilizer. It's a little less expensive and lighter in weight than the other version. It works best when there is plenty of light, otherwise consider renting the one with the image stabilizer so it can be used in lower light situations.
Accessories supplied with lens:
- Front lens cap
- Rear lens cap
- Soft padded case
