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.
