Canon officially announces the Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I almost bought the EF version because of all the raves it got, but luckily I had the willpower to wait for this RF version. Though the lens I really really want is the 15-35. I rented that lens and it was amazing to work with.

So it does have a tripod collar after all! That makes me happier. On the other side, SA control seems to finally go to the downsides list for me. After seeing demos, I'm sure I won't use it. So for me it is an added price/weight/place to break. Also I suspect it will be easy to turn accidentally. But, any ways, a great lens, which brings many improvements over EF and priced reasonably. I will certainly upgrade.

$199, why are we not surprised? Any opinions on whether they should have included it with every lens for a $100 increase in price, versus having to charge $199 because fewer will be sold and there are stocking / packaging and other overheads that accrue when sold separately? Canon includes the tripod collars as standard gear with the telephoto L zooms, why not the macro?

There's actually a lock switch to keep it at the middle setting.

As for the price, remember that everything is relative. It’s unfortunate that it may be out of reach for some who might want it, while for others, $1399 is a pittance. If it’s out of reach for you, buy it the old-fashioned way: save up until you have enough.

Very tasty developments Canon - No 1 within ML (fingers cross for Nikon to get more Z lenses out )

I don't think it's as mandatory on a light weight lens as this. For specific user cases, yes, but I do think the majority of the users will use this without one. Even if they've shipped one within the package. Just my thoughts.

Anyone know whether or not it has a built-in flange for Canon macro flashes? The EF 100 and 180 macros do not, but the MP-E 65mm 1-5x lens has a flange.

Great news. Except for the price. That is tough.
1.549,00 € in Germany (incl. VAT)
Yes that will be really interesting.
And as I do a lot of handheld marco the better IS togehter with IBIS and the 1.4x mag would make me want to get it - if I went into R/RF
I wish I lived (or at least could visit) Germany, for a couple of reasons, but this would be one of them <3
