This new macro lens has a very smooth throw.

This is especially useful for doing manual controlled focusing with a tripod, or even more so when focus-stacking. The focusing ring – the new RF lenses allow you to change the sensitivity of the lens when focusing. I like to set the control ring to aperture, which then allows me to very quickly change the aperture as I move closer or further away from the subject while photographing. I have found this feature to be very useful for macro photography. The control ring at the end of this lens, allows you to set a certain desired function to the control ring, such as aperture, shutter speed, or ISO. One of the other new features with the new RF lenses is the ability to customise the lens focusing and control rings.

Squeaking longhorn beetle (Hexatricha pulverulenta) - Aperture F7.1, shutter 1/160, ISO 1250. So, I wanted to really test what this allowed me to achieve in low light conditions and using the lens handheld with a much slower shutter speed than the focal length of the lens. If used with a Canon EOS R6, EOS R5 or the new Canon EOS R3 it offers an impressive 8 stops of stabilization. Prior to this macro lens all of my other macro lenses I own do not have image stabilization – so you could say image stabilized macro lens was all new to me.Ĭanon says their new RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens offers an impressive 5 stops stabilization in the lens when using this lens with a Canon EOS R or RP. So I decided to focus just on capturing images with just the macro lens and camera, no tripod and no flashes, as I thought this would give me a good chance to understand the lens and the image stabilization feature of the lens. Upon receiving my Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens, we went into lockdown here in New Zealand, which meant I had a lot of time around the house and garden, giving me a chance to focus my attention on non-insect subjects. I do however also enjoy photographing plants as well, when I get the chance (what is not often, as I am mostly out at night photographing as this is when most of the invertebrate subjects I am interested in are most active the two images below are taken with an external speedlite (Canon MT26EX-RT Twin Lite and a homemade diffuser). Normally my main focus with macro photography is micro invertebrates (such as insects, spiders, bugs, etc) with a strong focus on native species. When photographed with the macro lens, this image leads to a feel and look of a large mountain range, giving the image a sense of a grand scale. The seeds are still tightly packed in on the pinecone. Close up of a pinecone – Aperture F7.1, shutter 1/60, ISO 2000.
