Top Rated Gear: Used Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens E- MFR: 4514C002.

With its groundbreaking design and advanced features, the RF 100mm F2.8 L Macro IS USM lens is a game-changer in the world of photography. Specifically engineered for full-frame EOS R series cameras, this lens is the world's first medium telephoto macro lens that delivers stunning close-up imagery with up to 1.4x magnification using autofocus. The lens boasts a fixed 100mm focal length and a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, making it an ideal choice for capturing beautifully blurred backgrounds and performing exceptionally well in low-light conditions. The fast and highly precise autofocus ensures that you never miss a moment, while the innovative SA (spherical aberration) Control Ring gives you the power to elevate the look of your portraits and macro shots. The RF 100mm F2.8 L Macro IS USM lens also offers the unique option of creating dreamlike or romantic images with a soft focus look, adding a new dimension to your photography. The robust built-in optical image stabilization, coupled with Canon's Hybrid IS system, ensures that your close-up shots and videos are always sharp and stable, regardless of the conditions. When using the FLM (Focal Length Multiplier), photographers can expect to see stunning results that can truly enhance their creative and artistic vision. Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, the RF 100mm F2.8 L Macro IS USM lens is a versatile, reliable, and innovative tool that will take your photography to new heights.

I love this lens! If you are looking for a great macro lens or even a great portrait lens. This is the ticket!

Great Lens! Great Price!

This was my first RF lens for my R6 II. I cannot say I'm overwhelmed by it. It's replacing an EF 24-70 f/4L IS USM Macro for macro work. While it does do that job somewhat better, it's nowhere near the improvement I was anticipating. The EF 24-70 would hold focus on a subject near it's max magnification of .7X so tracking bugs crawling around was relatively easy. The RF 100 absolutely will not hold focus if you're asking more than .5X out of it. It'll snap to focus, then drift around until it gives up and just runs the focus out into the middle of nowhere. I'm using a strict single point, and this thing won't stay stuck to anything anywhere near 1X, much less 1.4X. It's basically a manual focus lens for anything I use it for. It does get a sharper shot, but it makes me work a LOT harder for them. I'm questioning whether buying the EF lens and a good flash would have been wiser.

Just won't focus on anything close

If you are thinking of getting a Macro Lens and have a Canon camera that works with the RF lenses. Definitely get this kit. While I haven't used the lens itself much yet as I'm mostly waiting for spring and flowers on it and have only just started playing with it, I can tell it is still a good lens even while I'm still getting used to it. That all being said, It is worth it to get this kit not just for the lens but also for everything else in the kit. The cleaning tools are a must for these lenses but it comes with a nice bag as well as some filters but the best part of it is most likely the software that comes with it. If you are like me not wanting to pay a subscription on lightroom, Then you are in luck because this kit has software similar to lightroom that you don't have to pay monthly for! 

If you want to get into Macro, Buy this lens kit!

Lots of great stuff in this kit

I knew I would buy a Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L lens some day, but not this soon. I already own the EF version and figured I'd keep using it with my mirrorless adaptor.  In fact, I felt I'd take my time and eventually go native mirrorless to replace all my EF mounts until I saw Adorama's amazing bundle, which included a lot of great add-ons for the same exact price as a lens-only option from all the usual online suppliers. So I went for this deal from Adorama, which turned out beautifully for me... Adorama delivered it perfectly with free shipping and I happily deleted this lens from my Amazon wish list. Thank you, Adorama!

Amazing lens, great value

Produces crisp, clear, and beautiful pictures. Fast and quiet focus. Lens is light and very comfortable to use. Still learning to use the SA ring, not sure I will consistently use the feature since I prefer sharp images.

Fast.

Wonderful macro lens, sharp, clean glass.

go canon or go home!

All the reviewers on YouTube claims this was a no brainer.  I thought it was only for macro photograph but when I took to 2023 Eastern Parkway Labor Day Parade. I was giddy with joy.  It was mostly a lucky surprised but the moment and the distance will have you salivating for the RF 135mm.  Always remember your minimum focusing distance because you'll miss out on the festivities as its happen.

Reach Out Touch some one at 100mm

I am only a hobbyist, but I gotten great results with this RF 100mm F/2.8 Macro lens. I am using a Canon EOS R7 which gives me a focal length of 160mm. My only compliant is that the auto focus can be a little slow and the camera auto tracking can mistake your subject. Hopefully there is a firmware update for the camera that can help fix this issue.

Amazing Macro Lens

I bought this lens and have been very happy with the images.

Very good lens for the price

Great macro lens for closeups of flowers, insects, bees, etc.  All pictures are crystal clear and in focus. This is my goto lens when I go to the Botanical Gardens in Chicago.

Best Lens For Closeup Macro Photography

Canon does it again. This lens has lightening fast focus, sharp, rich images and was surprisingly (in the best way) lighter than I expected.
Great multi purpose lens as you can use for landscape or portraits, but it obviously shines in macro. 
Focus distance is about 10" which can be helpful when trying not to scare teeny flighted creatures.

Lightening fast

I grew up with the always fun EF 100mm Macro and when I dove into Canon's mirrorless R series bodies it became obvious very quickly that the new RF lenses were worthwhile improvements as well.  While I initially used an EF-RF adapter and was completely satisfied using 'old' glass on the new bodies I have found that pairing RF lenses with RF bodies takes every aspect of the photography experience up, out, and beyond expectation.  Upgrading from the EF (very old non-L version) to the RF 100mm L brought with it greater magnification, closer focal distance, amazingly fast and quiet auto focus, and a fun Spherical Aberration tweak control.  I can't say how much of an upgrade this is from the EF-L version but I know I'm amazed from where I stepped up from (and I was really happy with the EF).  The SA adjustment is great for portraits and I leave it locked neutral for Macro work.

If you're looking for the most fun per dollar lens you can own buy this!

Appreciated Improvements

I've used the EF version of this lens for years and it always produces great results. Super clean, crisp shots and a perfect match for my R5.

Continues to be a great lens

After typing a long review explaining everything, when I tried to post, the website says ad blockers are blocking reviews... so I disabled ad blockers, then my review disappeared.

Let me make this short, this lens is back focusing starting at f4 and all the way to f22.
Even using manuaI focus with Canon's own focus peaking on the R5, I got the same result. So I googled, and found out, it is a known issue.

Thank you Canon, I will return this lens ASAP.

Back focusing issue

I use it for Mushrooms and insects. I use it with my Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EXII. I haven't used the SA Control yet.

Canon RF 100mm Macro

Wow! This is a fantastic lens. The ordering process was easy and bundled with extras at no additional cost. Delivery was flawless.

Great product, great extras, great price, and great delivery.

This is a magnificent lens.  Macro capabilities are amazing.

Great lens

I love it!

Macro

Fantastic lens - excellant macro focusing and good portrait. Happy with focusing speed and feels well built.

Great lens.

The quality and sophistication you expect from an L series. 

Amazing macro and portraits!

Super fast focusing with fantastic bokeh

Just like its EF sibling, this lens remains one of the Canon sharpest lenses.

My preferred RF lens

As an avid nature/bug/animal/plant lover/photographer, this lens is simply a dream come true. This was my first L  series lens I had ever purchased, and it absolutely blew me away. I had finally upgraded to an R5, and I wanted a lens that could show me just how capable of a camera it truly was. This lens accomplished that mission without even breaking a sweat.  
As everyone else has already stated, this lens is as sharp as they come. Not only that, the "bokeh" produced (due to it being a 100mm that will most likely be used to shoot subjects that are pretty close to the lens) is simply stunning. This is also the first lens I have EVER owned with 0 chromatic aberration. Zilch, zero, nada. This lens is somewhat of a steal when compared to other L series lenses, as it is one of the cheapest, but also the one that produces amazing results time and time again. Since purchasing this lens, I have purchased two other L series lenses, which are also great, but I found them to be a bit of a letdown as I was expecting them to deliver just as much as this RF 100mm has. Although I tend to swap lens on a regular basis depending on my shooting needs, when it comes time to (delicately) slapping this lens back on, I fall in love with it all over again. The only real con that I can think of is that this lens has most likely ruined every other lens I will ever use (although I'm hoping that the RF50mm 1.2 will wow me just as much once I get around to adding it to my collection). That, and obviously its somewhat limited use do to being a 100mm (ie you will have a hard time shooting larger subjects in confined spaces). I also thought that SA control would be neat, but I found out I really have no need for it. At least its there if I do (ie for some "glamour" headshots) 
If you are on the fence with this lens, don't be. Just hit that "buy" button. The pain in your wallet is only (hopefully) temporary, but this lens will have you

Dream Lens!

It doesn?t get much better when I?m using my 100 macro L with my Canon R.
Thank you adorama.

Ease-of-use and quality of glass

Best macro lens, tack sharp. The 1.4x is awesome

Canon did it again

Excellent Macro Lens with incredible focusing capabilities

A must for macro shooters

100mm RF Macro Lens

So far, so good, first time exploring with a Macro lens.  Previously did not want to purchase a Macro lens until I upgraded from my CMOS camera to a full-frame.  Purchased the 6D Mark II and now have enjoyed exploring the Macro world, still learning.

New to Macro, Let's Go!

Excellent Macro

Very Nice Macro Lens. Exceeds my expectations. Canon Store online order was easy and
the lens was readily available.
