Pre-IFA 2009:

Canon's announcement of its Hybrid IS technology comes the first lens to sport this feature, and to no great surprise it's a 100mm F2.8 macro. The Hybrid IS system provides up to 2 stops stabilisation at 1.0x magnification, and up to 4 stops at longer shooting distances. Canon's third EF 100mm F2.8 macro lens is also the first to gain the flagship 'L' designation, and comes with such goodies as ultra-low dispersion glass elements, a nine blade circular aperture and weathersealing. The Canon EF 100mm F2.8L IS USM macro will supplement, rather than replace the existing 100mm F2.8 USM macro..
