A Review of the Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens

The Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro lens was highly respected for being relatively affordable compared to other premium lenses while still offering tack-sharp images, fantastic image stabilization, and of course, 1:1 macro capability, all making for one of the most versatile lenses out there. The RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM follows up on the EF version's legacy by introducing a range of new features and improvements, and this great video review takes a look at how it performs.

Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this excellent video review takes a look at Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens. I have owned the original EF version of the lens for around 10 years now, and it is, by far, one of my most used and trusted lenses, as I can count on it to get the shots I need no matter what situation I throw it into. The RF version brings with it a few new features and improvements, most notable being the increased maximum magnification (from 1x to 1.4x). In addition, there are increased image stabilization capabilities (up to eight steps when used in tandem with a proper body), customizable Control Ring, Spherical Aberration Control Ring for changing the look of foreground and background bokeh, and dust- and moisture-sealing. Check out the video above for Abbott's full thoughts on the lens.
