Canon developed a “Hybrid Image Stabilizer” around July of last year and has released during the last quarter of the same year, the first macro telephoto lens that will help users improve shots taken at closer distances (also known as macro-shooting).  The Hybrid IS technology optimizes image quality by preventing errors caused by camera shake.  Blurred images are thus minimized.

Canon EF 100mm F2.8L IS USM MACRO, primarily offers the Hybrid IS technology and from the term itself, a 100mm focal length, is ideal for close-up and macro shots.  Its other features are geared on helping photographers take shots in a smaller distance, even without the need of a tripod as the new technology should help minimize the errors caused by the camera shakes.

Reviews regard the Canon EF 100mm F2.8L IS USM MACRO as an optional investment.  While it gives exceptional results for most of the features the lens offer, it does not seem to do justice to the press release about the Hybrid IS Technology.  Seemingly a work in progress, we can only expect the best from the succeeding line of products from Canon.
