Not much happening
I'm still here, just waiting for some news.
EF 100 f/2.8L IS Macro Review
Conclusion
“Canon's really raised the bar with this lens: exceptionally sharp, even wide open at f/2.8, with strong results for resistance to chromatic aberration and distortion. Corner shading can be a tad high at f/2.8 when used on a full-frame body, but for macro work, I imagine most people will be using this lens in the stopped-down range to get as much depth-of-field as possible. The addition of image stabilization is overdue, but will nonetheless be welcomed by photographers who don't want to be weighed down by tripods.”

G11 Review
I will have a G11 review up tomorrow night. Same sort of review as the 7D. I think people care most about the high ISO performance, so I'll be focusing on that.

The new 100mm Macro is great.
I love it for portraits.
I wish it was f2.0 though.
From the sample looks like this lens is ideally suited for APS-C cameras. It looks quite poor on the 5D
I’m quite keen on some 550D news… ^^ but I know I probably have to wait a little bit…
We just picked one up. It is amazing!!! We have the 90mm TSE and 85mm 1.2 II and this is way sharper than either of them That was shooting at 2.8 on all cameras. Also the focusing seems to be way fast and quite. This is the sharpest lens I’ve used. I think these new lenses are some of the sharpest lenses made. even compared to the Carl Zeiss.
The 100 2.8L is phenomenally sharp, but so was the “old” 100 2.8 macro. I’ve done portraits with both, and they are so sharp that it will point out skin wrinkles, etc. It’s good to have this problem, though, because you can always soften in PP.
