The Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM uses an eight-blade aperture that makes it perfect for low light action sports, something that many other lenses struggle with. It also excels in the much less straining world of outdoor daytime sports as well. Its small size makes it useful for sports as well, weighing in at only a pound this lens would almost fit in your pocket, however pockets are not generally recommended as traveling cases. This lens also features a decent background blur when needed, providing higher quality portraits that provide useful in almost any scenario.
The most sought after skills of the Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM are its fast focusing ability and its capabilities in the action sports world. While featuring a very mediocre maximum magnification, .14x at 3x, this lens is not going to put you in the middle of far off action, yet for personal use and average, everyday photography it is quite useful.
Overall the main selling points of the Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM are certainly its size and build quality. However it is still a useful lens for the individual seeking an average standard telephoto lens for everyday use that comes at a reasonable price.
