yes Pratap, how worthy is this as an upgrade over non-IS?
Two things which makes that decision. Build + weather seal + L badge is one of them, HIS is the other.
If you compare sharpness and bokeh I feel both lenses are identical. Contrast is better in the L lens. If you use tripod for macro then there is no need to upgrade (might as well buy gitzo tripod for the upgrade price;-) )
Paying twice for those features is a very difficult choice which you need to make. I agree with L fever though (now only one lens in my bag is non-L )

Hi NiranJ,
HIS is great on paper as well as in the field. I never expected it to work that well when I saw the announcement. but after working with it it is a fine lens. I can confidently work on macro without flash now.

Hey, that’s really a thorough review! The sharpness and the contrast are really impressive. would like to see some side by side images of both, the HISand non IS lense too.

Great and thorough review! I got a brief chance to work with this lens, although not on the field, and I have to agree to everything said here.

The real question is, as mentioned, – how worthy is this as an upgrade? Considering the pedestrian AF on the 5D MK II, and the fact that any macro user worth his salt would use a tripod, is it worth paying a premium for IS? I wouldn’t mind paying a premium for sharpness and better bokeh, but considering that the current 100mm is a superb lens, the arguments for an upgrade are not very strong. But L fever is definitely very strong

Very nice review. I was curious about the HIS system – good to know it works well. Colors, contrast and DoF on the images look good. Congratulations on the new toy – hope to see more images

Comment on Black and Yellow Flat Millepede by drkrishi

Olivier, thanks for commenting at my blog. I also thought that it was Harpaphe haydeniana. But I doubt this American millipede is found in India. It is very common and resembles Harpaphe haydeniana. It smells odd but not like Almond or hydrogen Cyanide which Harpaphe haydeniana secretes. I did not dare to taste to find out. So I sent my cat to test. It found the secretion very irritating but not fatal. Cat was vomiting that whole day . Lack of guides to identify such common species is a big hurdle.
