Canon RF 100mm F2.8L Macro IS USM Lens Features In Detail

Peerless 1.4x Macro Magnification

This pioneering lens achieves a best-in-class 1.4x maximum magnification for jaw-dropping macro shots. Capture the tiniest details – like the micro textures of a flower or the intricate patterns on a butterfly’s wing – at up to 40% larger-than-life sizes compared to standard macro lenses. This extreme close-focusing ability brings out a hidden world of striking fine details.

Customisable Bokeh with Innovative SA Control

The world’s first Spherical Aberration (SA) control ring lets you adjust the look of the bokeh for customised creaminess in out-of-focus areas. By varying the spherical aberrations, you can soften or sharpen backgrounds to your creative taste. It’s an innovative way to add an artistic element to macro and portrait shots.

Edge-to-Edge Sharpness in Any Light

The fast f/2.8 aperture maintains exceptional image quality even when shooting wide open at the maximum aperture. Combined with advanced optical elements to minimise distortions and chromatic aberration, this lens delivers tack-sharp clarity from edge to edge, whether shooting macro details, portraits or in low light.

Steady & Sharp with 5-Stop Hybrid IS

Canon’s class-leading Hybrid Image Stabilisation provides up to 5 stops of compensation for crystal clear handheld shots – critical for macro work with extremely shallow depth of field at high magnifications. The Dual Sensing IS utilises gyroscopic sensors and acceleration data for precision shake correction.

Smooth Focus for Video and stills

Ring-type Nano USM focus motors ensure smooth, speedy and near-silent autofocus that is vital for video recording as well as macro/portrait still photos. An AF limiter switch also optimises the AF drive range for quicker focusing response. Focus breathing suppression maintains an angle of view for consistent framing.

Intuitive & Programmable Lens Controls

Between the customisable SA ring, control ring, focus limiter and manual focus switch, you have parameters to tweak to your exact needs, without taking your eye from the viewfinder. The interface is intuitive yet gives plenty of options for custom setups.

Rugged & Ready for Any Environment

The L-series dust and weather-resistant construction, complete with a water-repellant fluorine coating on the front element, makes this lens ready for challenging outdoor macro shooting. Don’t let tough shooting conditions stop you from getting the shot.

A New World of Photographic Potential

In one high-performance package, this lens combines exceptional optics, cutting-edge stabilisation, professional controls and an innovative SA control ring. Offering peak sharpness along with customisable bokeh, it unlocks new potential for creative macro and portrait photography alike.

What We Think of the Canon RF 100mm F2.8L Macro IS USM Lens

In our extensive hands-on testing and real-world use, the Canon RF 100mm F2.8L Macro IS USM Lens has cemented itself as an extraordinarily versatile piece of glass suitable for so much more than macro photography alone.

Without question, it delivers class-leading life-size magnification for mind-blowing close-ups most rival lenses cannot achieve. Yet the superb optics, swift focusing performance, effective stabilisation and overall handling are so well-rounded that it has become our go-to lens for event photography.

The gorgeous compression and subject isolation afforded by the 100mm focal length are extremely flattering for everything from candid portraits at weddings to isolated product shots of jewellery, crafts and technology. This along with the buttery smooth bokeh (which can be customised via the SA control ring) has opened up new avenues for creative still life and food photography as well.

Finally, the weather-resistant L-series build quality gives us the confidence and peace of mind to take this lens just about anywhere without compromise – from the controlled conditions of a studio to the unpredictable great outdoors. Macro photography excursions in forests and gardens have uncovered a thrilling new dimension to our craft.

There is no other lens on the market that combines incredible close-focus abilities with such versatility across portraiture, events, commercial product shots and advanced video applications. For any photographer demanding the highest optical quality and innovative control, this lens is an indispensable creative tool.
