Fast auto focus and a half life-size macro function make this lens a very useful lens, all at a good affordable price. This will be similar to the legendary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ca8518afu.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EF 85mm F1.8 lens<\/a> that has been around and still selling after 28 years.<\/p>\n<p>Moms like me, streamers, and amateur to hobbyist photographers are going to love this lens. This is the answer for anyone looking for a nice prime lens for the mirrorless camera line. It&#8217;s fast in low light and doesn&#8217;t break the bank. The fast auto-focus alone makes this a really useful lens for someone who&#8217;s on a budget but still wants a quality lens that they\u2019re not fighting with to focus. Going all the way down to 2.0 let&#8217;s you use this in low light, but it&#8217;s also going to give you beautiful bokeh.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65019\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65019\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-3.jpg\" alt=\"Canon RF 85mm f\/2 lens Vanessa Joy \" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-3-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-65019\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo via Vanessa Joy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65017\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65017\" style=\"width: 667px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65017\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-1.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-1-33x50.jpg 33w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-65017\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Vanessa Joy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>The power of IBIS<\/h3>\n<p>The maximum magnification is 0.5 times and the minimum focusing distance of the lens is 1.15 feet. The optical image stabilization has up to 5 stops of shake correction. If you know me, you know I love any lens that has image stabilization. What that means, if you&#8217;re not familiar, is the rule of thumb for an 85 millimeter focal length is to shoot at a shutter speed of a hundredth of a second or higher.<\/p>\n<p>With five stops of stabilization, you can ideally stop down five times from that 1\/100th of a second and still be okay. Granted, this means you&#8217;re probably not running around when you shoot with it or photographing a fast-moving subject. But in normal circumstances, just hold still, hold your breath, stop your heart from beating (kidding) and you&#8217;ll be right as rain. The Hybrid Image Stabilization compensates for angular and shift camera shake during macro shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Like a lot of the RF lenses, you have a control ring that you can custom set. The lens features a 12-pin communication system and a circular, 9-blade aperture.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65018\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65018\" style=\"width: 667px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65018\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-2.jpg\" alt=\"Canon RF 85mm f\/2 lens Vanessa Joy \" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-2.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-2-33x50.jpg 33w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-65018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Vanessa Joy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65020\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65020\" style=\"width: 667px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-4.jpg\" alt=\"Canon RF 85mm f\/2 lens Vanessa Joy \" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-4.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/canon-rf-85mm-f2-vanessa-joy-4-33x50.jpg 33w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-65020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Vanessa Joy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I tested this lens in multiple scenarios so I could evaluate its performance in various lighting and subject situations. I paired it with the newly released Canon EOS R6 and was pleasantly surprised at the speed of focus, even in dimly-lit rooms and while focus tracking my fast-moving toddler. Because this lens is targeted towards non-professionals, ease of use is imperative and typically indicated by its focusing capability. Focusing speed and accuracy are on-point for this lightweight lens, making it very user friendly. Even as a professional photographer, I wouldn\u2019t mind having this lens with me on a job or even to take when I want to bring a camera along on trips and prefer a less heavy portrait lens option.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Shop the Canon RF&nbsp;85mm f\/2 Macro IS STM Lens Now!&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_64607\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64607\" style=\"width: 883px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-64607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/awaeiofjawoiefjaw392r3-awga9w-e4gaw-4awgv3-85-feature.jpg\" alt=\"Canon RF85mm F2 Macro IS STM Lens\" width=\"883\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/awaeiofjawoiefjaw392r3-awga9w-e4gaw-4awgv3-85-feature.jpg 883w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/awaeiofjawoiefjaw392r3-awga9w-e4gaw-4awgv3-85-feature-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/awaeiofjawoiefjaw392r3-awga9w-e4gaw-4awgv3-85-feature-825x465.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/awaeiofjawoiefjaw392r3-awga9w-e4gaw-4awgv3-85-feature-50x28.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-64607\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Adorama<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/car852.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canon RF&nbsp;85mm f\/2 Macro IS STM Lens<\/a> (<span class=\"dynamic-data\" data-type=\"price\" data-sku=\"CAR852\"><\/span>)<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"tn-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/car852.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pre-Order Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Feature photo via Vanessa Joy<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m Vanessa Joy, NJ + NYC wedding and portrait photographer, and I&#8217;ve recently had the chance to test out the new Canon EOS R6, as well as the brand new Canon RF 85mm f\/2.0 lens with image stabilization.
