Canon's fast 100mm portrait prime — the EF 100mm f/2 USM with outstanding rendering.

The Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM is a mid-telephoto prime from Canon for the EF mount, introduced in 1991 and notable for occupying an unusual focal length between the common 85mm and 135mm options. It uses Canon's ring-type USM autofocus motor for fast and precise operation.

The lens delivers 100mm at f/2 maximum aperture with a ring-type USM motor providing fast, near-silent AF and full-time manual focus override, internal focusing that does not change the barrel length during AF operation, and full-frame coverage. A circular aperture produces characteristically smooth out-of-focus rendering.

The 100mm f/2 sits in a particular niche — faster than the 100mm Macro f/2.8 without the macro capability, and slightly longer than the 85mm with correspondingly more subject compression. It was valued as a portrait lens for its smooth bokeh and natural rendering at portrait distances. Ring-type USM provides notably smooth, responsive autofocus compared to micro-USM alternatives.

Test ring-type USM autofocus response and full-time manual override. Check aperture blades for oil contamination — at f/2 any blade sluggishness will affect exposure accuracy and bokeh quality. Verify focus accuracy at typical portrait distances of 1.5–3 metres. Inspect the front element for coating wear.
