The P100 is a CZ classic, but the "shark fin" at the rear scrapes against the mirror box on my Canon bodies (D30, 1Ds). Besides marring the camera, the fin prevents correct seating against the lens mount. For several of my lenses, the result is lack of infinity focus and a tilted image plane. I'm not willing to shave the fin. Meanwhile, the S100 has no such problem, and the slower design seems to pay off image-wise: sharpness, color fidelity, illumination, and good behavior generally. I find it excellent for tabletop, as shown in this recent example:
S100, 1Ds, f/8:
1x-scale crop. Note lack of lateral color, especially around the speculars:
I have a different CZ lens (SP100) for actual macro use.
