Engineered specifically for full-frame EOS R-series cameras, the RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens from Canon combines a medium-telephoto field of view with a sleek design and close-focusing performance. Designed for close-up imagery, this autofocus lens is an ideal choice for portraits and macro subjects. Featuring a fixed 100mm focal length, a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, fast, highly-precise autofocus, and a spherical aberration control ring, this lens elevates the look of portraits and macro shots and gives you the ability to create dreamlike and romantic images with a soft focus look. Its close focus design enables working with subject matter as close as 10.2" away, and a Super Spectra coating minimizes ghosting and flare when working in strong lighting conditions. The lens also features optical image stabilization, along with Hybrid IS, to suppress up to five stops of camera shake for cleaner, steadier shooting, and imagemakers can expect to see stunning results that enhance their creative and artistic vision.

Is this lens compatible with the Canon MR-14EX II Macro Ring Lite?
Asked by: Franz
While this lens is compatible with the MR-14EX II Macrolite, realize that after you spend $1400 for the lens and $550 for the flash, you will still have to purchase the 67 mm Macrolite adapter to connect the two.

What is the working distance at 1x and 1.4x?

What is the working distance at 1x and 1.4x?
Asked by: Ed
Focusing distance at 1.4x is 10.2" inches / 26 cm. This is measured from the Sensor Plane. Measuring from the end of the lens this would be 3.6" inches / 9 cm. Unfortunately as this lens has not been made available yet and it is not listed in the specs, we do not yet have information on focusing distance at 1x. Though it would definitely be a longer distance than at 1.4x.

The Eos R7 is not a full frame camera. Do I have trouble focusing on close-ups (plant, insect, face)? Because this lens is a mirrorless lens designed for full frame camera. Is the focus area narrow?
Asked by: BERKE
I would like to add that the lens is 5.83 inches long and the focal distance is measured from the sensor to the subject. If you subtract the length of the lens, 5.83" from minimum focus distance, 10.2" - the minimum focus distance it is about 4.37" measured from the front of the lens. With the provided lens hood attached, about 2" long, the minimum focus distance in front of the hood would be 2.37 inches. I hope that helps.
