Medium Telephoto Macro Lens with a Maximum Magnification of 1.4xThe RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM Lens is a medium telephoto AF Macro lens with a maximum magnification ratio of 1.4x. At its minimum focusing distance of 0.86 ft. / 0.26m, the RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM is capable of capturing detailed images while being remarkably versatile in operation. Whether capturing details of food, jewelry, or traditional macro shots, the RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM is a highly effective lens for macro photography. |
High Image Quality and Bright, Fixed f/2.8 Aperture Telephoto Macro RF LensThe RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM lens distinguishes itself by maintaining incredibly high image quality, edge-to-edge, even wide open at its f/2.8 maximum aperture. With 17 elements in 13 groups and a 9-blade aperture system, it can deliver detailed images with gorgeous background blur and versatility in low light. |
5.83 in. Length, Approx. 1.6 lbs. WeightWeighing approx. 1.6 lbs. and measuring 5.83 inches in length, the RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM lens designed for comfortable use on any EOS R series camera. With its 100mm fixed focal length, the RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM lens provides a great representation to capture impressive portraits, food photos, flowers and more with minimal distortion. |
Optical Image Stabilizer with up to 5 Stops of Shake Correction**Because RF lenses are designed specifically for the RF Mount found on EOS R series cameras, the lens and camera combine to share shooting data, helping to dramatically reduce the effect of camera shake that can occur when using handheld. This applies when capturing both stills and video, with up to 5 stops of stabilization** for accurate and clear imagery.** Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards. Testing performed using the EOS R camera. |

Hybrid IS Compensates for Angular and Shift Camera Shake during Macro ShootingEquipped with the Hybrid IS technology, the Image Stabilizer of the RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM effectively reduces blurring in handheld macro photography by compensating for both angle and shift camera shake. This helps to deliver impressively clear, up-close results. |
Spherical Aberration (SA) Control Ring Allows Adjustments to Shape and Character of Foreground/Background BokehThe RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM features Canon’s first adjustable Spherical Aberration (SA) control ring on the lens barrel that allows you to adjust the depiction of the image’s background bokeh. Used to add a unique emphasis to your imagery, the SA Control Ring allows the user to change the shape and character of the foreground and background bokeh. A minus setting creates a dreamy, soft-focused look, while a Plus setting creates a bubble-bokeh-type look. Adding a third ring to the lens, the SA Control Ring has a notable surface that can be differentiated from the Control Ring and Focusing Ring. A lock mechanism can be found on the side of the lens which locks the SA control ring to the middle position rendering standard, traditional operation, with no SA optical effects. |
Up to 8 stops of Shake Correction*** with Coordinated Optical Image Stabilizer and In-Body Image StabilizerWhen combined with an EOS R series camera equipped with In-Body Image Stabilizer, the lens' Optical Image Stabilizer teams up with the In-Body Image Stabilizer to provide coordinated IS up to 8 stops***, further helping to alleviate shaking for photos and video, and adjusting the ratio from optical to in-body stabilization automatically throughout the zoom range so you have the best of both worlds. |
High Speed, Smooth and Quiet Auto Focus with Dual Nano USMThe RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM is equipped with dual independent Nano USMs to help achieve high-speed and focus accuracy throughout its focusing range. This helps you quickly focus and keep up with fast-moving subjects as well as provides smooth and virtually silent autofocus while shooting movies, so there is relatively no disturbance for you, the subject or in what you see visually and hear audibly during shooting and playback. |

|---|---|---|---|
Control Ring for Direct Setting ChangesThe RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM lens has a separate, independent Control Ring that is located towards the front of the lens, which can be programmable for immediate exposure adjustments during still and video shooting. With the Control Ring, you can directly adjust settings such as shutter speed, lens aperture, exposure compensation and more. For photographers and moviemakers who would prefer a silent control ring, the clicking mechanism can be removed by a Canon service provider for a fee. |
Dust - and Weather-resistantFor reliable performance even when weather conditions get difficult, the RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM lens features dust- and weather-resistant construction in the lens mount, switch panel and all rings. Sealing is applied to lens joining sections, and switch panels to help prevent water and dust from entering into the lens. |
Fluorine CoatingThe RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM lens features fluorine coatings on the front and rearmost surfaces to help prevent dirt and dust from sticking to the lens, making it easy to clean smudges and fingerprints off. |

Could not be happier.
Crisp, clear images with beautiful bokeh.
Also works extremely well as a prime lens with Clarity well off into the distance
Only gripe is that auto focus doesn’t work so well when close up- no big deal, switch to manual
If you are on the fence, buy it!
I returned this lens and have since purchased a RF 35mm f/1.8 macro. Much better results at said price point in comparison.
Also this is the longest ever return/refund process I've been through since the very beginning of my prime membership with any vendor, period!

Using it for product photography in my studio at The Perfect Creative Studio has been a joy. The lens is crazy sharp, capturing all the little details beautifully. Whether it’s textures or intricate designs, this lens nails it every time. Plus, the 100mm focal length gives me the perfect balance between getting close and keeping my distance for composing the shots.
Aside from the sharpness, the build quality is top-notch, typical of Canon. Autofocus is speedy and spot-on, ensuring I don’t miss any crucial moments. And the image stabilization is a lifesaver, especially when I’m shooting handheld or in less-than-ideal lighting.
All in all, the Canon RF 100mm Macro F2.8 L USM has surpassed my expectations. It’s become my go-to lens for product photography, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for top-notch quality and versatility in a macro lens. It’s worth every penny, easy to carry anywhere in my camera bag, high performance and very fast and easy to use in manual focus mode also. It made my product photography work very easy and even more professional. Must have piece in your camera bag if you are a serious product photographer, jewellery photographer, or a macro photographer.

In terms of Macro photography, I've tried extension tubes with good results but never overly happy with them. The results that this lens renders are absolutely beautiful images. 100% worth every penny.
The one thing I find gimmicky is the SA adjustment. It's occasionally interesting in order to get ethereal glowing images, but adjusting for softer bokeh, just makes the image overall blurry. If you adjust for sharper bokeh, it becomes rather harsh. Neither option suites my shooting style..I'm glad there is a locking option so the SA is not engaged at all.
Overall, I 100% recommend everyone to get this lens. This should be in every landscape, portrait, macro, and astro photographer's bag.
