Those that know Canon L lenses already know what I'm going to say. Lens is great. Not so much as a portrait lens, but macro is really nice. SLOW in full AF range, but set your range properly for the situation and it'll get you close enough fast enough to where you can use manual focus and finally your own position to get tac sharp images. Noisy, but that's nothing to worry about since when doing video properly you won't be using the on camera mic anyway. The lens hood does what its supposed to, and actually helps keep you from crossing the minimum focus distance.
Keep in mind, the minimum focusing distance (.99'), as spec'd with any lens, references the distance from the sensor, not from the lens front. From the lens, I've been able to focus as close as 4.5 inches for that 1:1.
The filters are ok, I wouldn't use them on really important shots. The monopod's a nice touch, has an adjustable foot that screws back to reveal a spike for soft ground planting. The bag is your typical sling bag, seems to be solid. All in all, a really good value for the price.

Great Package Deal
This is a great package deal! I recently used the bag to carry my Canon 5D MKIII, with the 100mm attached, on short walks in Yosemite. The bag was easy to configure for the set up I needed, and has another zippered section that I put keys, small wallet, lens filters and wipes. The lens filter case is really nice, and the other items are fair quality, perfect for the short hikes where you don't want to carry a bunch of larger, heavier accessories. I love the cross body sling strap. It was easy on and off and comfortable. The package deal definitely exceeded my expectations!I am sure thousands of 5 star reviews have been written about the Canon 100mm f2.8L IS USM macro lens. The lens is all that and more, but my favorite part is the IS. My hands just aren't as steady as they used to be, so I appreciate this function of the lens for walk around. I have seven Canon lenses, four of them L quality, and I think the 100mm L macro is the most versatile in my bag. I haven't used it for macro yet, but that is the reason that I purchased this lens, so I am excited about a new creative adventure! I did take this lens to Yosemite and it really surprised me for landscape.

A picture isn't really worth 1000 words, in this case, but..
This pic was about 4 ft away from the bird setting on a feeder.
Certainly not a general purpose amusement park lens but definitely one to have for fun, really great, pictures.
The range was kinda surprising, being a "macro" lens. In fact, you can't get to close to the subject, just have to crop. But wow.
Super fast focus.
And for portraits, it doesn't get any better.
Great value for the money.
This lens will get A LOT of use this summer. Really fun.
If you're on the fence.. get off, already!
