With a focal length of 85 millimeters and a bright, maximum aperture of f/2 for beautiful bokeh, this versatile lens is a great choice for portraits and street photography, as well as low light scenes or during concerts, and with the addition of macro capability, even close-up and macro photography will provide stellar results. The RF85mm F2 Macro IS STM is a lightweight, affordable lens that boasts high image quality and an impressive optical image stabilization system offering up to 5 stops of shake correction ideal for low-light scenes or when recording video, and featuring Hybrid IS enables stabilization when focusing on macro, close-range subjects.

- f/2 maximum aperture: Capture the action at indoor sporting events and other situations with less-than-ideal lighting conditions. It creates an exceptional background blur, which produces stunning images.
- Optical Image Stabilization with up to 5 Stops* of Shake Correction: The RF85mm F2 Macro IS STM lens is designed to work in conjunction with EOS R series cameras, with both the camera & the lens sharing data to dramatically reduce camera-shake blur, whether shooting video or stills.
- 1.15 ft. minimum focusing distance: The RF85mm F2 Macro IS STM lens is designed for working up-close and personal with subjects to document even the most minute of details. And because it has a maximum magnification of 0.5x, you can even experience close-up 1:2 half life-size macro photography.

A Must Have!
If you have been debating about getting an 85mm prime lens for your canon mirrorless body, this is a no brainer. With fantastic macro capabilities, great bokeh with the 1.8 f-stop and overall light weight. This lens also is great for portrait work and landscape/architecture if you want to dive into additional forms of photography.

A Must Have For Macro and Portraits
Perfection and easy on the wallet. If you can find one, get this lens. This can go toe to toe with $3,000 glass for a fraction of the price. The auto focus can be a but sluggish, but the images are tac sharp and the bokeh is sooooo good.

Great Lens for the money
I was on the fence getting this lens but after seeing samples of other photographers I decided to get this lens and I am not disappointed, its sharp and does a great job for what I need. I couldn't see spending money on the more expensive 85mm from Canon and glad I went this route. It is a bit slow and noisy but didn't bother me on my test shots and it will be fun using this in the future
