Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens

Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens
Professional L-Series Medium-Telephoto Macro Prime – 1.4x Maximum Magnification, Spherical Aberration (SA) Control Ring, 5-Stop Hybrid IS (Up to 8 Stops Coordinated), Dual Nano USM & Weather-Sealed Build (Includes Front & Rear Caps, Dedicated Lens Hood)

The Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM is a premier, professional-grade medium-telephoto macro prime lens engineered specifically for full-frame Canon EOS R-series mirrorless cameras. Designed for close-up macro imaging, fine portraiture, commercial product photography, and detail work, this L-series prime expands beyond standard life-size macro capabilities with an exceptional 1.4x maximum magnification and a close-focusing distance of just 10.2 inches. The bright f/2.8 maximum aperture ensures consistent exposure in challenging light while providing shallow depth-of-field control and smooth background separation.

A key highlight of the lens is its dedicated Spherical Aberration (SA) Control Ring, allowing photographers to adjust the look and character of foreground and background bokeh or introduce a soft-focus glow for creative, romantic portraiture. Optical performance is backed by Canon’s Super Spectra Coating to eliminate flare and ghosting, along with a 9-blade rounded diaphragm for natural, pleasing specular highlights. The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer provides up to 5 stops of shake correction on its own (and up to 8 stops of coordinated control when paired with EOS R bodies featuring In-Body IS), utilizing Hybrid IS technology to compensate for both angular and shift-type camera shake during close-up macro work. Fast, quiet, and precise autofocus is driven by a Dual Nano USM system, while a customizable Lens Control Ring, electronic switchgear, and robust weather-sealed construction ensure seamless operation in demanding environments.
