How well will the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens perform with the Canon T3i?

I use it on a 7D and love it. You'll probably need a tripod or high ISO for really close macro work. I use it hand held for garden shots of frogs and insects, and get sharp photos. It makes a beautiful portrait lens, too. You're far enough away to put your subjects at ease, and if you shoot with an wide open lens (2.8) you'll get a gorgeous soft background.

This is an excellent lens on a Canon T3i IMHO. I use this combination daily and love it. This lens rarely leaves my T3i. It will be equal to 160mm in focal length. I use this focal length for all sorts of things and being able to shoot macro is amazing! Auto focus speed is fast and accurate and if that is not enough has a limiter switch to help. The image quality and sharpness is about as good they make them. An excellent performer. If you can spare the cash don't hesitate. This is my favorite lens hands down.

It is an excellent lens, i use it a lot for video, the stabilizer is the best, the macros are impressive, i have a Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite to be a winner.

It will preform very well as its an excellent lens. Keep in mind that you will be using it on a crop body so its effective focal length will be greater than 100MM. Its also an excellent macro lens which will open a whole new world of photography to you....get a good tripod as your next purchase is you decide you really like macro. Lastly canon L lens retain their value if taken care of so in essence you can consider your purchase a rental. Get a good lens hood and a filter to protect the front element and you should be good to go. You will eventuality upgrade you t31 but this lens will stay with you forever It will preform very well as its an excellent lens.

I can't give exact answer since i don't who is the T3i perform. but for the lens am using it with my 40d and its outstanding result for macro and also for portrait. its great lens.

The T3i is a great camera but a lens really makes all the difference. I use this macro often on a crop frame 7D similar to your T3i and had the opportunity to use it on full frame cameras too. It's fast, quiet, and the IS is fairly new (1 year old) and defiantly worth having especially on a higher focal length of 100mm. I would say this is one of my more popular lenses I enjoy.

It performs beautifully on all the T series. I have used it on the T1I, T2I and T3I.

I own both the T3i and the 7D and I can tell you that this lens performs just as well with both camera bodies. I really do think this is one of the finest lenses canon makes in terms of quality and sharpness of images. If you know how to manipulate the camera setting for your desired results, you will be amazed at how this lens will perform with the T3i! I give my highest recommendation if you are considering the 100mm f/2.8 macro!

I use this lens on my Canon Eos Rebel T3i... I am pleased with it's performance...

It's a 2.8 Lens fixed at 90mm, so really it depends on how well your Camera does at a higher ISO. I use a Full Frame Camera Body, so it does well for me in low light. With my older Rebel T4I anything much over 800 ISO and the Photos suffer. This is "tack sharp" lens and does excellent Macro. The only noticeable thing to me is the motor is a bit noisy when capturing Focus. If your very far from The Stage, you may want a longer lens.

Do you intend on doing a lot of macro work? Don't forget that the 1.6 crop factor will make your 100 a 160. Prefer the EF-s 60mm F2.8 on my 7d. Good macro, great portrait lens.

I have a T3i, and it works fine. I've taken some mighty fine shots with my 25-30 yr. old Minolta lenses. Nothing automatic about it, but great quality. Also don't forget the 1.6 conversion factor of the focal length of the lens. My Rokor MD 50mm f1.7, becomes an 80mm. Perfect for portraits! Good luck!

Yup works great with all my canons including t3i. The real issue is your lens, since I had some longer lenses I also bought some longer rails (also from amazon:)). Get some 12 inch rails too since these are 8 or 10 when I bought them. Also be gentle with the tightening knobs, they will strip out cause they are cheap plastic but worth the price....just carry your leatherman at all times.

works great for macros! seriously this lens is amazing for the price. You do need to be 2-3 ft away but works and looks awesome!

Thank you Very much for your Help, what do you think about the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II and the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM? If you had the money for only one general purpose lens, wich one will you chose?

I'm using this with canon ef 85mm f/1.8 USM and canon ef 35mm f/2 works fine even with auto focus just a little bit slow on focusing so mostly I use manual focus also worked with sigma 18-250mm

Shouldn't be to much of an issue... Here is a great resource http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/T3/T3A4.HTM to quote them "Like other Canon DSLRs with sub-frame sensors (currently, the Canon Rebel XS, Rebel XSi, Rebel T1i, T2i, T3i, EOS 50D, 60D, and EOS 7D), the Canon Rebel T3 will work with pretty much any EF-mount lens ever made, as well as with the special EF-S lenses designed for cameras with APS-C size sensors."

I can answer your question, with one word.."Beautifully"................I use it with the same lens as menchioned as well as my Nikon 105 MM 2.8 Macro Lens, and I get stellar results........

Yss. This lense for the Canon T3i works very well. Great range for close and zoom.

Im told the 100mm f2 usm is the recommended portrait lens, but Ive taken some beautiful shots with the 2.8 that were not macro.

Yes, I use it with a T3i all of the time with stunning results. The 70-200 is my best absolute lens.

Yes, the T3 would work. However, you will also need the kit lens, an 18 - 55 mm, as well as a macro lens. I recently purchased the following from Amazon: Wide Angle/Macro Lens FOR THE CANON DIGITAL REBEL T3I T2I 550D.THIS LENS ATTACH DIRECTLY TO THE FOLLOWING CANON LENSES 18-55mm, 75-300mm, 50mm 1.4 , 55-200mm. It works great and I believe it is currently on sale.

I've used it on my T3i, and I don't think canon would have changed their ef mount standards, so yes it should work. I have not tried it with EF-S lenses but the telltale white dot is on there.

It works perfectly with a T3i. I have the T3i and am using the 100 mm with it. I'm very pleased with the results.
