Overview

The Canon 100mm f/3.5 II is a compact, lightweight LTM lens praised for its optical quality. It delivers sharp images with nice contrast, lovely color rendition, and creamy bokeh. Weaknesses include a small, squinty viewfinder and limited flare resistance. Build is solid with a long focus throw and click-less aperture on early versions, while later versions have firm click stops. It suits travel and architectural photography, especially on Leica M or L-mount cameras with IBIS.
