The Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro is part of Canon's new EOS R system, one of Canon's most important releases since the EOS system began about 30 years ago. Learn more about the EOS R system and the standout features of this lens:

• The distance between the RF lens' mount and the surface of the EOS R sensor has been reduced from 44mm in the EF/EF-S system to a mere 20mm. Having larger optical elements very close to the sensor means fewer aberrations, greater brightness, and better image performance overall.
• 
  
• The number of contact pins has been increased, elevating the speed and volume of communication between the lens and camera. This is supported by a new microprocessor within the lens that increases communication without significantly increasing power consumption.
• 
  
• Taking advantage of the communication features listed above, RF lenses provide the unique ability to assign custom shooting functions directly to the lens. A special tactile control ring on the barrel of this lens can be assigned to functions like aperture value, shutter speed, ISO adjustment, and exposure compensation. Additionally, this lens offers a Spherical Aberration (SA) control ring so you can control the shape and character of foreground/background bokeh.
• 
  
• Close minimum focusing distance of 10.2" with a maximum 1.4x magnification suitable for closeup work.
• 
  
• Built-in image stabilization that works in tandem with the EOS R's Dual Sensing IS system. This lens also incorporates a Hybrid IS setting which compensates for angular and shift-type camera movements to benefit close ups.
  

  
  The Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro is pro-level prime lens that's an ideal choice for portrait photography as well as macro shooting. Its smooth AF performance and stabilization makes it also a great choice for shooting video and would be a good photo/video hybrid lens for weddings and other major events.
