The Spherical Aberration (SA) Control Ring customizes the rendering of foreground and background blur. This means you can intentionally create dreamy, soft-focus effects or more pronounced ‘bubble’ bokeh, expanding creative possibilities for both macros and portraits capabilities unique to this RF macro lens.
Hybrid IS technology, in combination with coordinated stabilization from compatible R-series camera bodies, provides up to 8 stops of shake compensation. This allows for sharply focused handheld macro shots and steady low-light captures far beyond previous macro lenses, reducing the need for tripods or macro rails.
Unlike conventional macro lenses with life-size (1:1) reproduction, this lens gives an extra 40 percent magnification. Users can capture detailed texture in insects, jewellery, or scientific samples at a larger scale valuable for commercial, archival, or creative applications where maximum close-up capability is needed.
By independently controlling both the main and floating focus groups, the two Nano USM motors ensure smooth, silent, and highly responsive autofocus ideal for video production and studio setups. This lets users track moving subjects or perform critical focus pulls without noise or hesitation.
The RF 100mm f2.8L is built to withstand outdoor and studio use with weather sealing, internal focusing (no external lens extension while focusing), and a fluorine-coated front element that repels dust and moisture. Its hybrid stabilization and native RF integration mean it travels well, adapts to multiple shooting styles, and stays reliable for every assignment.
