Combining a short-telephoto field
of view with a sleek design and close-focusing performance, the RF 85mm
f/2 Macro IS STM is a well-rounded lens for a range of subjects, from
portraits to macro subjects. Its close focus design enables working with
subject matter as close as 1.15' away with a 1:2 maximum magnification and the
STM stepping motor affords impressively quiet and smooth autofocus performance
and full-time manual focus override. Helping to create sharp imagery, the lens
also features optical image stabilization, along with Hybrid IS, to suppress up
to five stops of camera shake for cleaner, steadier shooting. A UD (Ultra low
Dispersion) element is also used in the optical design to minimize aberrations
and ensure clarity. Additionally, a configurable Control Ring lets you adjust
exposure settings, including ISO, aperture, and exposure compensation, from the
lens itself.
Portrait-length prime is designed
for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital cameras.
Modest-but-bright f/2 maximum
aperture maintains an overall sleek form factor while also benefitting working
in available lighting conditions.
Macro design benefits working with
close-up subjects and provides a 1:2 maximum magnification along with a minimum
focusing distance of 1.15'.
An Optical Image Stabilizer helps
to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to five stops to better enable
working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds. Also, a Hybrid
IS setting compensates for angular and shift-type camera movements to
specifically benefit close-up shooting.
STM stepping motor offers fast,
quiet, smooth, and accurate autofocus performance that is ideal for video
recording as well as still shooting.
Configurable Control Ring can be
used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and
exposure compensation.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm
contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
