None

I owned non-IS 100 marco before buying this lens. The difference I have to pay for this lens is around $440. But what extra I can get includes "L" lens optical quality (sharp!), new hybrid IS fuction, more slient and faster auto focus, and better build of lens and hood.

Pros:
|
Excellent build quality, Hybrid IS very effective, bokeh is just fantastic, razor sharp, lightweight, very silent focus and IS
|
|
Cons:
|
a little pricey, limited for insects but perfect for flowers, it is not possible to
remove the lens cap while the hood is on
|
|
|
My first Macro lens, I always wanted to option to shoot close, and I learned that this lens can be used for many more purposes, portraits indoor/low light shots, the hybrid IS is a BIG difference from the regular IS
the image couldn't be sharper
very good lens, I recommend it to anyone as a 100mm lens AND a s a macro lens

Good performer, in terms of IQ the very same as the 100 2.8 version. Handhold ability is very good in good lighting. Build quality although mostly a plastic body, the feel and quality is very good. A light weight lens with excellent results. This is a great lens for people who don't use a tripod, although it can be used with a tripod like I use also.

I have used both the second generation Canon 100mm macro (non-IS) and the Canon 180mm macro. This lens is a great performer. The only thing I miss is the reach of the 180 when shooting insects. But the new generation IS significantly helps with handheld macro and makes this a great lens for close portrait. It is clearly sharper than my 70-200 f/2.8 IS and focuses almost as fast (when you use the focus limiter to remove macro focus). It is also quite light (very similar to the 100mm non-IS) but well built. I realize that it is pricey but the ability to use the lens for more than macro sealed the deal for me.
