Capture subjects in macro detail with the Canon RF 100mm Macro F2.8 L IS USM Lens. This L-series lens offers a 100mm focal length and incredible 1.4x close-up magnification, getting you closer than ever before. Paired with a f2.8 bright aperture and Hybrid Image Stabiliser that lets you shoot up to 5-stops slower, you can shoot with confidence even in low light. Give your foreground subject full focus by creating a silky smooth bokeh background thanks to the Spherical Aberration Control Ring. Whether you’re shooting stills or video, the Dual Nano USM motor allows for perfectly silent and rapid focusing so you can use your initiative to capture subjects without disturbing them.
Spherical Aberration Control RingThe Canon RF 100mm Macro features a Spherical Aberration (SA) Control mechanism to specify the look of out of focus bokeh areas, both in front and behind the subject and produces a soft-focus effect on the subject itself. An additional control ring on the lens is used to govern an electronic cam that actuates the focusing and floating lens groups independently by using two Nano USMs to change their location from infinity to close-up and change spherical aberration. This alters the bokeh for a desired effect. |
Hybrid Image StabilizerThe Canon RF 100mm Macro has an optical Hybrid Image Stabilizer offering up to 5-stops compensation (CIPA standard) or up to 8-stops with coordinated Image Stabilisation with a camera that has an In-Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS) system (CIPA standard and tested with the EOS R5). Due to the high magnifications found in macro photography vibrations are greatly exaggerated. Canon’s Hybrid IS tackles this by providing up to 2-stops of IS at 1x magnification (under Canon’s test conditions). The combination of this and high-speed RF communication means that this lens surpasses the best technology in the EF range. With compatible Canon cameras that feature in-body stabilisation, higher levels of compensation are possible. |
Dual Nano USM Focusing MotorUsing two Nano USM AF motors helps drive the lightweight optical elements with speed, precision and control, in near silence – ideal for video and stills. For high speed focusing, a more compact lens design and closer focusing, a floating lens group system was used which required two focus motors. One Nano USM is used for the conventional focusing group and the other for the floating focus group allowing them to be driven independently for the SA control as well as focus breathing suppression. |

At the time of writing this review I have had this lens for two weeks and am still practicing using it. That said, when used with my R7 it has given me images that are very detailed and sharp. I use the macro lens for photographing insects and I can now get the ommatidium of the insects compound eyes showing very clearly. The results are quite stunning and consequently I am glad that I bought the lens, albeit that it is not cheap. The build quality is what you would expect from Canon.
