...just a little off topic but...as someone mentioned above the Canon 100mm f2 is a really nice and overlooked little lens. It was lying at home so I started using it after being frustrated with all the 85mm options (Af performance) and I´m really liking it. Very good performer for very little money. All right, I admit I´m just trying to postpone the inevitable- buying the new 85mm f1,4 IS
Do you have 85mm f1.8 lens? How does 100mm f2 compare in terms of focus speed. Every one says they both are same optically. Dxo 100mm f2 copy seems to be sharp wide open throughout the frame (as sharp as 40mm stm wide open). It doesn't reach very high levels of sharpness in center when stopped down like modern lens (50mm stm). But they are very close. Focus speed with crop camera for indoor sports is my main concern.
My 100 f2 is (a bit) sharper than my 85mm 1.8 and has less CA, focus is exactly the same
I got used one from amazon for decent price to use with SL2. Suppose to be like new. But it is used lens with dust specs on focusing ring. It also came with old lens cap. Focusing seems to be snap but when hunting it makes noise. Is it normal for silent USM AF system. I have some time for returning in case if there are any issues.
Thanks
