This is the one we’ve been waiting for! Canon’s RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM has been a hotly anticipated lens ever since the EOS R system was first announced in 2018. It’s the successor to the beloved EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro – one of the best macro lenses ever made, and a staple in the bags of professionals and amateurs alike.

That lens was so good that this new version has a tough row to hoe to convince existing owners to upgrade – or even to sway newcomers to the system to buy the pricey new RF version, rather than the slightly cheaper EF option, which can be seamlessly used on EOS R cameras with Canon’s mount adapter.
