Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L Makro IS

Its being returned because it is heavy, the AF/MF switch is very stiff and when attached to a R5 mk2 body with battery grip and flash the combination is far too heavy for hand held macro.

Harvey Norman Team were helpful as always. Such a good lens... Bought this Canon RF 100mm 2.8 Macro for Macro photography. It does macro very well but also great for portrait.

Really pleased with the Magnification, clarity and sharpness.

Habe dieses Objektiv zusammen mit der R6mk2 als erstes Objektiv gekauft, als ich zu Canon wechselte. Erste Aufnahme war ein Portrait meiner Frau bei offener Blende - alle Details des Auges waren einwandfrei scharf und klar. Die Wiedergabe ist natürlich, der Abstand gefällt mir besser als bei einem 85er. Im Nahbereich gelingt es gut, meine Aquarientiere zu fotografieren. Der AF ist schnell, und mir gefällt, dass sich dank interner Fokussierung die Länge nicht verändert. Die 100mm Brennweite ist auch abseits Portrait / Makro in der allgemeinen Fotografie sehr oft passend

I've wanted a macro lens for years, but always struggled to justify it, given it's quite niche usage. (Yes it does make a nice portrait lens, however it's at the longer end of the focal length for that, and again quite specific to shooting facial portraits) Anyway, I'm happy I made the investment, it's quick and sharp like nothing else. The AF coupled with an R6 MK2 is lightning fast, really impressed. Is it cheap, no... Is anything cheap nowadays, definitely no, should that be a justification for high pricing, also no... But, it's a really nice quality lens, wirh my only gripe being that canon needs to get their act together and supply a decent protective case with it. If you buy a Sigma lens, you get a protective soft case, if you buy a canon lens you get a drawstring bag... That's not on.
