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

The Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens is a versatile medium-telephoto macro lens designed for Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras. Here are its key features:

Medium-Telephoto Macro Lens:

The lens features a fixed 100mm focal length, making it ideal for capturing detailed close-up shots, portraits, and macro subjects. Its medium-telephoto perspective provides a flattering compression effect for portraits and allows photographers to maintain a comfortable working distance from the subject while shooting macro images.

Bright f/2.8 Maximum Aperture:

With a bright maximum aperture of f/2.8, the lens excels in low-light conditions and offers excellent depth of field control. The wide aperture allows for beautiful background blur (bokeh) and enhances the lens’s performance in various lighting situations.

High Image Quality:

The lens delivers high-quality images, ensuring sharpness, clarity, and accurate color reproduction. Its optical design and advanced coatings minimize aberrations and enhance overall image quality.

Optical Image Stabilization (IS):

The lens is equipped with an Optical Image Stabilizer that compensates for up to 5 stops of camera shake. This stabilization technology ensures sharp and steady images, especially in low-light environments or when shooting at slower shutter speeds. When used with cameras featuring In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), the compensation extends to an impressive 8 stops.

Hybrid IS System:

The lens incorporates a Hybrid IS system that compensates for both angular and shift camera shake during macro shooting. This technology ensures stable and clear images, particularly when working at close distances with macro subjects.

Super Spectra Coating:

The lens features a Super Spectra coating that minimizes ghosting and flare when working in strong lighting conditions. This coating enhances contrast and color fidelity, allowing photographers to capture vibrant and well-defined images.

Spherical Aberration Control Ring:

The lens includes a Spherical Aberration Control Ring, allowing photographers to adjust the shape and character of foreground and background bokeh. This feature provides creative control over the lens’s rendering of out-of-focus areas, enabling photographers to achieve unique and artistic effects.

Fast and Quiet Autofocus:

The lens employs Dual Nano USM (Ultrasonic Motor) technology, enabling high-speed, smooth, and quiet autofocus performance. Whether capturing fast-moving subjects or focusing on intricate details, the lens delivers precise and responsive autofocus results.

Control Ring:

The lens incorporates a Control Ring that allows direct setting changes, enhancing the photographer’s control over various parameters. This customizable ring enables quick adjustments to settings such as aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation, streamlining the shooting process.

Dust and Moisture-Resistant Construction:

The lens is sealed against dust and moisture, making it suitable for use in challenging environmental conditions. Its robust construction ensures durability and reliability, allowing photographers to explore diverse shooting environments with confidence.

Optional Rotating Tripod Collar:

An optional rotating tripod collar is available for the lens, providing stability and convenience when working with the lens atop a tripod or monopod. This accessory enhances the lens’s usability, especially in studio setups or during controlled macro photography sessions.
