Features

  • Compatible with most Canon EOS mirrorless cameras

    For use with your existing RF mount Canon Camera.

  • Macro lens for stunning detail

    Bring every detail into view wwiith extreme close-up photos of flowers, insects and small objects.

  • 100mm focal length

    The Tele-Macro focal length allows you to capture close-ups and fine details even from a distance. It also reduces shadow interference.

  • f/2.8 maximum aperture

    Creates sharp, detailed images with shallow depth of field and softly blurred background. Performs best in moderate-to-bright light settings or outdoors on overcast days.

  • Optical Image Stabilizer with up to 5 Stops of Shake Correction**

    Because RF lenses are designed specifically for the RF Mount, the lens and camera combine to share shooting data, helping to dramatically reduce the effect of camera shake that can occur when using handheld.

  • Up to 8 stops of Shake Correction*** with Coordinated Optical Image Stabilizer and In-Body Image Stabilizer

    When combined with an EOS R series camera equipped with In-Body Image Stabilizer, the lens' Optical Image Stabilizer teams up with the In-Body IS to provide coordinated IS up to 8 stops***.

  • High Speed, Smooth & Quiet Auto Focus with Dual Nano USM

    This helps you quickly focus & keep up with fast-moving subjects as well as provides smooth & virtually silent autofocus while shooting movies, so there is relatively no disturbance for you, the subject or in what you see and hear.

  • Spherical Aberration (SA) Control Ring Allows Adjustments to Shape and Character of Foreground/Background Bokeh

    The lens 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.

  • Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes

    The 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.

  • Minimum Focus Distance of 0.86 ft (10.2 in)/ 0.26 m

  • Dust- and Water-resistant Design, with Fluorine Coating on Front Element for Easy Cleaning.

  • Fluorine Coating

    The 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.

  • accommodates 67mm filters.

    The best macro lens for a beginner

    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

    The best 100 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%.

    Great for Micro and Mid-Telephoto applications

    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 lens

    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.

Canon - RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for EOS R-Series Cameras - White

The RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM is a telephoto zoom lens delivering impressive image quality along with superb mobility as our shortest and lightest 70-200mm f/4 lens to date. Designed for the EOS R System, this lens takes advantage of the large diameter mount and short back focus distance of the RF mount to maintain high image quality while being more compact and portable so you’ll be even more inclined to take it with you on your travels. Results are stunning thanks to 4 UD lenses which help correct chromatic aberration and keep colors vivid, reduced ghosting provided by Air-Sphere Coating (ASC), and Optical Image Stabilization* plus coordinated Optical Image Stabilizer and In-Body Image Stabilizer** for amazingly clear, crisp images at slow shutter speeds and smooth video footage. There’s also dual Nano USMs contributing to a short minimum focusing distance and high-speed autofocus for still shooting and near-silent, smooth autofocus during movie shooting. These features and more, combined with the confidence to shoot in almost any condition with dust- and weather resistant seals and fluorine coating, make the RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM lens a solid performer for any situation.
