Canon - RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM Telephoto Lens for EOS R-Series Cameras - Black

I am not exactly a professional but not exactly a rookie. I have been shooting on Canon for the past year with a 24 to 70 I used the Canon R5C. I have been shooting myself on video for almost 10 years. I have only done a few photo shoots but I love the look of this lens. It does seem to a little more attention to white balance when you are indoors. Some people were saying that the SA controller only changes how soft the image is but when focusing on a subject it does seem to change the depth of field a little bit. Not exactly sure if this is true but it seems like it to me. 100 mm combined with Canon image stabilization and weather sealant makes this lens quite a beast. Add actual macro and the ability to focus on close up objects and you have a real winner here. When I was reading the reviews everyone said this lens was way above the 85 mm macro

Excellent quality in manufacturing, the sharpness of the image and the Macro function is of another level, it is not heavy to have a long focal length, it has a stabilization that, combined with the stabilization of the camera, gives incredible results, even if the camera does not have a stabilizer in the sensor, the autofocus works perfectly and the selection of the focus point is perfect, the best thing is the SA control, it creates surprising results, the quality and price ratio is perfect, the Canon L series is of another level. I recommend it 100%.

I'm studying film, and this has been my best decision. This lens is better than I expected! The image quality is incredible. I appreciate the Best Buy staff taking the time to review the offers. I'm so happy!!! I recommend it.

Bought the lense brand new and immediately too a few photos to test it out. The auto focus is lightning fast since it uses a USM motor, and to avoid focus hunting the lense comes with a Range Limiter switch that allows it to maintain focus within a specific range for when you want to take macro shots, portrait shots, or long range shots all the way to infinity. The optical stabilization on the lense makes is incredibly easy to one handle the camera while taking micro shots of critters and plants while using the other hand to hold the items still. Another nice feature is the spherical aberration knob that allows me to alter the shape of the foreground and background bokeh, this came really handy when I used it to take stacked photos and merged them in photoshop with different spherical aberration values to create this incredibly crazy effect on a few shots. This lense is not only a macro lense but can also be used to take medium- telephoto shots, and if you have a crop sensor RF camera than this lense becomes a 135mm lense that allows you to take pictures from far away which is great for weddings and podium events where you need to stand back from a distance. Overall this is a great lense that serves multiple purposes.

great macro lens. There are a lot of mixed reviews about this lens due to the cost and complexity of use, but once you learn this lens it really is great for both video and photography. This is a solid lens, and I have no regrets on this purchase. I do highly recommend using this lens with a tripod for best results. watch videos and practice with this lens and you will see why it's a good addition to your collection for macro photography and portrait.
