Almost all of my macro shots are taken hand held, so I really like the IS of this lens. Combine that with the IBIS of the R5 and R6 and you get a winning combination. I've tried the Spherical Aberration (SA) ring, and it works ok, but prefer to do that in post, if need be, so I have it locked on "0". Once you get the hang of it, it could save you a bit of editing in post if you like to mess with that, so I think it is a nice feature. I'm just not big on doing a lot of post editing, particularly messing with bokeh. I like the control ring of the new RF lenses and have it programmed so I can select focus points. It focuses quickly and I don't think it's entirely the cameras because I have the EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro and ring adapter, so Canon has improved on the USM. IQ is similar to the EF version, but I have to give the edge to the RF (I'm a pixel peeper), I have taken enough shots with both the EF and RF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM glass on the R5 to make a fair comparison. As you may know, all lenses have a "sweet spot". Although it has very good IQ wide open (f/2.8), but take it up a few stops, and IQ is amazing. I've found f/8+/- to f/16 to be a good range, although I haven't needed to take it higher than f/16 to get my shots. The wasp face was taken at f/16, 1/500th. The RF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro is a nice improvement of the EF version, IMO, and is a must have if you like to shoot macro, even occasionally, on your new R series camera. Yes, it is a bit expensive, but worth every penny. It's really hard to tell from images posted here just how good they are, but I will post some anyway. The shots are cropped, maybe 50%, mainly because the subjects are so tiny and even at 1.4:1, they are small on the R5 sensor. The flower with the yellow disk is smaller than a dime and is a 40 shot "focus stack" taken using the EOS R6 on a tripod. The other flowers are 1/4"+/-. The wasps are 1/2", if that. Except for the "focus stacked" image, the rest are "hand held" and I used high ISO settings so I could freeze action and to keep my aperture in the "sweet spot". The wind was blowing the flowers and the insects were constantly moving.

I've used the EF version of this lens in the past, and loved the results, from the creamy bokeh, and sharp subjects, to how light it is, and it's macro capabilities. The RF takes it to next level with super fast AF, great IS combined with IBIS. I've actually started using this for portraits as well and been blown away by the results. In terms of Macro photography, I've tried extension tubes with good results but never overly happy with them. The results that this lens renders are absolutely beautiful images. 100% worth every penny. The one thing I find gimmicky is the SA adjustment. It's occasionally interesting in order to get ethereal glowing images, but adjusting for softer bokeh, just makes the image overall blurry. If you adjust for sharper bokeh, it becomes rather harsh. Neither option suites my shooting style..I'm glad there is a locking option so the SA is not engaged at all. Overall, I 100% recommend everyone to get this lens. This should be in every landscape, portrait, macro, and astro photographer's bag.

This auto focus makes macro photography so much easier. This lens is not limited to just macro, you canget get great portraits and landscapes too.

I recently purchased a Canon 5r because of the pixel count of the sensor. Main purpose is to help digitize 35 mm slides. The RF100mm F2.8 Macro is the right lens for the job. With the camera & lens mounted on a copy stand & the slides sitting on an led light box, the results are excellent. Post “scan” processing is much better because of the high resolution of the digital photo. The image is created so much faster than with a high end scanner that it almost seems possible to finish digitizing my 1000’s of slides & prints someday.

Amazing lens, i bought it for macro shots but it became my main portrait lens as well. It is on the "cheaper" side or L lenses but it comes with the great quality and weather resistance, i expect to keep using this for many years to come!

I have been doing photography for a long time. When I switched over to the R series of cameras I started to upgrade my lenses. One of the last ones I needed to get was the 100mm. This lens is so tack sharp it's not funny. I have been doing taking photos of gear and needed this lens as it gives the best look for what I needed. Over all it's a fast lens with a solid build. It's not super light but the value is great.

This is my only L lens. It's a little large and a little heavy, and it was very expensive, but you get what you pay for. It's images are crystal clear, as you would expect for a rime lens, and I bought it for the Macro capabilities... I like taking photos of bugs and other little critters, and it's perfect for that. It's also a great portrait lens, if you have enough room to back off a bit from your subject, since 100mm is a little long for portrait photography. It couldn't really be made any smaller and be as fast as it is. Also, it's weather sealed. I am completely satisfied with this lens.

Excellent decision. Light, good quality, and just fun to use. I did a lot of research on what lens would be the best for an all around type of shoot. Portraits, closeups, video, wide shot, street, environmental. Sure I could get a specific lens for each, but I’m not made out of money. This lens fits the bill. I never take it off. Why? Too close, step the hell back. Too far away? Brother, walk forward. Cut off feet? Yo! Look through your damn screen. Did I say it’s budget friendly for a camera lens? Oh yes.
