Excellent improvement over the EF 100mm Macro
Almost all of my macro shots are taken hand held, so I really like the IS of this lens. Combine that with the IBIS of the R5 and R6 and you get a winning combination. I’ve tried the Spherical Aberration (SA) ring, and it works ok, but prefer to do that in post, if need be, so I have it locked on “0”. Once you get the hang of it, it could save you a bit of editing in post if you like to mess with that, so I think it is a nice feature. I’m just not big on doing a lot of post editing, particularly messing with bokeh. I like the control ring of the new RF lenses and have it programmed so I can select focus points. It focuses quickly and I don’t think it’s entirely the cameras because I have the EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro and ring adapter, so Canon has improved on the USM. IQ is similar to the EF version, but I have to give the edge to the RF (I’m a pixel peeper), I have taken enough shots with both the EF and RF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM glass on the R5 to make a fair comparison. As you may know, all lenses have a “sweet spot”. Although it has very good IQ wide open (f/2.8), but take it up a few stops, and IQ is amazing. I’ve found f/8+/- to f/16 to be a good range, although I haven’t needed to take it higher than f/16 to get my shots. The wasp face was taken at f/16, 1/500th.The RF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro is a nice improvement of the EF version, IMO, and is a must have if you like to shoot macro, even occasionally, on your new R series camera. Yes, it is a bit expensive, but worth every penny.It’s really hard to tell from images posted here just how good they are, but I will post some anyway. The shots are cropped, maybe 50%, mainly because the subjects are so tiny and even at 1.4:1, they are small on the R5 sensor. The flower with the yellow disk is smaller than a dime and is a 40 shot “focus stack” taken using the EOS R6 on a tripod. The other flowers are 1/4″+/-. The wasps are 1/2″, if that. Except for the “focus stacked” image, the rest are “hand held” and I used high ISO settings so I could freeze action and to keep my aperture in the “sweet spot”. The wind was blowing the flowers and the insects were constantly moving.

Fantastic lens!
What is there to say, it’s an incredible lens and Amazon had a good price. Use it for flower photography. Very sharp and interfaces perfectly with my EOS R6 II

One of my favorite lenses
I have been doing photography for a long time. When I switched over to the R series of cameras I started to upgrade my lenses. One of the last ones I needed to get was the 100mm. This lens is so tack sharp it’s not funny. I have been doing taking photos of gear and needed this lens as it gives the best look for what I needed. Over all it’s a fast lens with a solid build. It’s not super light but the value is great.

All around everything lens
Excellent decision. Light, good quality, and just fun to use.I did a lot of research on what lens would be the best for an all around type of shoot. Portraits, closeups, video, wide shot, street, environmental.Sure I could get a specific lens for each, but I’m not made out of money.This lens fits the bill. I never take it off. Why? Too close, step the hell back. Too far away? Brother, walk forward. Cut off feet? Yo! Look through your damn screen.Did I say it’s budget friendly for a camera lens? Oh yes.

Expensive, but worth the price, if you need a fast 100mm prime macro lens
This is my only L lens. It’s a little large and a little heavy, and it was very expensive, but you get what you pay for. It’s images are crystal clear, as you would expect for a rime lens, and I bought it for the Macro capabilities… I like taking photos of bugs and other little critters, and it’s perfect for that. It’s also a great portrait lens, if you have enough room to back off a bit from your subject, since 100mm is a little long for portrait photography. It couldn’t really be made any smaller and be as fast as it is. Also, it’s weather sealed. I am completely satisfied with this lens.

Beautiful lens.
As expected, beautiful build quality and performance except….people have raved about the autofocus but on occasion I’ve had trouble getting it to focus first time. Not so much of an issue that I wouldn’t buy it again but for me , definitely not perfect.

Recieved the package in good condition. The seller doesn’t seem to send faulty or bad product, as I was suspecting looking at the review of him. Time to put the lens to test.

I mainly use this for macro work.Could not be happier.Crisp, clear images with beautiful bokeh.Also works extremely well as a prime lens with Clarity well off into the distanceOnly gripe is that auto focus doesn’t work so well when close up- no big deal, switch to manualIf you are on the fence, buy it!

I recently got my hands on the Canon RF 100mm Macro F2.8 L USM for my Canon R6 Mark II, and it’s been a game-changer. Right off the bat, I was impressed by how well it was packaged and delivered in 2 days. Thanks Amazon!Using it for product photography in my studio at The Perfect Creative Studio has been a joy. The lens is crazy sharp, capturing all the little details beautifully. Whether it’s textures or intricate designs, this lens nails it every time. Plus, the 100mm focal length gives me the perfect balance between getting close and keeping my distance for composing the shots.Aside from the sharpness, the build quality is top-notch, typical of Canon. Autofocus is speedy and spot-on, ensuring I don’t miss any crucial moments. And the image stabilization is a lifesaver, especially when I’m shooting handheld or in less-than-ideal lighting.All in all, the Canon RF 100mm Macro F2.8 L USM has surpassed my expectations. It’s become my go-to lens for product photography, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for top-notch quality and versatility in a macro lens. It’s worth every penny, easy to carry anywhere in my camera bag, high performance and very fast and easy to use in manual focus mode also. It made my product photography work very easy and even more professional. Must have piece in your camera bag if you are a serious product photographer, jewellery photographer, or a macro photographer.Viral Sutariya – The Perfect Creative Studio
