Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens
Professional Full-Frame Medium-Telephoto Macro Prime Lens – Class-Leading 1.4x Maximum Magnification, Fast f/2.8 Aperture, Spherical Aberration (SA) Control Ring, Dual Nano USM AF Motors, Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization (Up to 8 Stops Coordinated IS), L-Series Weather Sealing, Front & Rear Caps & Dedicated Lens Hood

The Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM is a premier medium-telephoto macro prime lens engineered specifically for full-frame Canon EOS R-series mirrorless cameras. Combining high resolving power with close-up shooting performance, this L-series lens achieves an impressive 1.4x maximum magnification ratio alongside a close minimum focusing distance of 10.2 inches. Designed for professional macro specialists, commercial product shooters, and portrait photographers, it pairs a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture with an innovative Spherical Aberration (SA) Control Ring, allowing operators to adjust the character, softness, and shape of foreground and background bokeh for creative, dreamlike rendering.

The optical formula utilizes high-grade elements treated with Canon’s Super Spectra Coating to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting in harsh lighting. Autofocus is powered by an independent Dual Nano USM drive system that delivers rapid, smooth, and virtually silent focusing for both high-resolution stills and video production. To ensure sharp handheld captures at extreme close-up ratios, the lens features a Hybrid Optical Image Stabilizer providing up to 5 stops of standalone shake correction and up to 8 stops of coordinated correction when paired with EOS R cameras featuring In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS). Built to professional L-series standards, the rugged barrel incorporates extensive dust- and moisture-resistant sealing, a customizable lens Control Ring for direct exposure adjustments, and compatibility with an optional rotating tripod collar.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The bokeh falloff from that 1.4x macro magnification is unreal—I got a tiny spider’s eye tack-sharp while the background just melted away. The SA control ring let me dial in a dreamy softness for a portrait right after, which felt like having two lenses in one.

Isabella ★★★★★

Took a few test shots in the garden and the 1.4x magnification is unreal—I can fill the frame with a single bee’s eye and still have razor-sharp detail. The f/2.8 bokeh is creamy, though the lens is a bit heavier than I expected for all-day handheld work.

Zoe N. ★★★★★

The SA control ring is a game-changer for dialing in exactly the right bokeh look, and the autofocus is lightning-fast even in low light. This lens feels incredibly solid, and the image quality is just unreal for close-up work.
