Product description from Canon
At launch 1991 Canon wrote this regarding Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM :
"Despite the large maximum aperture, the lens remains compact. Lens group 5 moves for rear focusing, and sharp, crisp pictures are obtained at all apertures. The background blur is ideal for portraits. The USM autofocuses the lens quickly and quietly."
